Not sure if I’m being unreasonable here or not.
Basically myself and Oh have two DC both with additional needs. We live about 7 miles away from mil and 10 miles away from DM.
Both mother in law and my mum want to see the kids but expect us to go there. Now, I don’t mind usually but they never come and see us when realistically it would be easier for them to visit and the DC will enjoy it. Neither are elderly or anything (40’s and 50’s). Admittedly mil works long hours and I understand she hasn’t got much spare time but DM only works very limited hours so she has a lot of time spare.
Am I being unreasonable to think they should make more of an effort? They get funny when we say we aren’t going over because we want a day at home at the weekend (they are welcome to come here).
It was my partners birthday this weekend. We seen mil but my mum said she has a card and present and asked if we could pop by to get it today. I said that I wouldn’t make it today but she is welcome over or we will collect it later in the week and she got agro.
There is no reason they wouldn’t want to come here that I’m aware of. My house isn’t a tip or anything 🤣 We are pretty welcoming!
I just feel like every weekend I have to make sure everyone else is catered for before ourselves!
