To think my Sil's request is cheeky?

NC for this. Sil has just asked dh to travel to hers on the train (he can't drive) so he can set up a mini portable spy camera for her. It would take about 2 hours to get to her house. Would be quicker by car. It's something she could bring to us to have set up so isn't it cheeky to expect dh to spend time and money instead. We have a young toddler to look after and she has no children and I'm sure she has more free time. She never does us a favour and has never gone out of her way to help us. She is a very entitled and quite frankly a selfish women. Sulks if she doesn't get her way. After 10 years of her I'm a bit at the end of my tether with her cheeky demands and selfishness. She has in the past demanded that we stop what we are doing and get a taxi to see her because she is in the neighbouring city with spare time on her hands. Many many other examples but I don't want this to be long or drip feed. As my username suggests no Im not her biggest fan so that could be clouding my judgement.

I can't believe someone has suggested that OP's DH learning to drive is the solution Grin

So even though SIL has her own car, DH should learn to drive so that he can be at her beck and call?? There are plenty of very good reasons to learn to drive but that's not one of them.

Or she could just read the instructions herself.

Or is it because he has testicles he'll be able to read them so much better?

This has gone from SIL being cheeky to DH being selfish and leaving the toddler with you, which is the real issue?

Did she say "Dave I need you to get the train to my house tomorrow" or did she say "Dave would you mind coming to visit, I need a favour"?
