Before I start, the daily mail can go fuck themselves too...
Right, for those of you in the know from my other threads, you’ll easily get the context:
Child with significant health issues and is currently treated as palliative, but is stable and showing no significant signs of progressing any further st this precise moment in time (but for all intents and purposes, at least not this weekend, which is what I want you to bear in mind...)
I have an amazing amount of support from my adoptive sister who is also a mumsmetter...
Aforementioned sister is trained to administer the medications DS is currently on,
So, a while back I had a mini breakdown which was a combination of 3 years of literally no time to myself, needing to shake myself loose for one night and spent some time with my DH alone, even if it is only dinner and perhaps a film...
Sister suggests that we make a night of it, staying local so that we can quickly return if we are needed urgently.
DS is speaking with his grandparents and casually mentions that my sister is coming over Friday “so mummy and daddy can go out without me, and have some time away”
MIL decides that as a mother I shouldn’t be having any time away from DS and I’m not motherly and don’t want to be a mother 
Yeah, all this based on one night when it would be our first proper night out out since before DS was born!
Suffice to say I told her that I do need a break sometime and given that I’m on call 24/7 for DS and have been forever, DH and I are entitled to one night where we can be together 
or am I being unreasonable?
