I live abroad but visit my home country at least once a year.
I’m currently visiting my family and had my SM kicking off, cause of a day trip planned by my DSis tomorrow.
We are staying currently at DF and DSM house but we stayed at my DSis previous week.
My DF and DSM are working tomorrow (both drive to work). I have 15 year old DSB who stays at home every day they are at work during summer holiday and looks after himself.
My DSis is off tomorrow and DBIL is working (both have cars and are driving).
My DSis wants to take me, DS1(9), DS2(7) and DN(6) for a day out by the lake. She can’t take anyone because we can only use one car.
We originally wanted to go to the water park 2hr away by car with DSB and DBIL offered to leave his car for me if SM picks him up from work, so we can take DSB. SM fobbed him off saying she doesn’t know exactly what time she’s finished at work.
DF can’t borrow his car as he works 60miles away.
DSis asked if I’ll go to the lake with her instead, as it’s not such an attraction for 15 year old.
However SM kicked off big time saying we are excluding him.
DSis is ranting that it’s not up to us to provide entertainment for DSB and he would have stayed at home anyway if we were not around.
There are only 5 seats in the car and my and her children are too young to leave them at home etc. It’s my only summer holiday this year too, as we could only afford to go away or visit family in my home country.
I feel guilty though and I cancelled the whole trip, so now we are just staying at home all day.
Should I apologise DSM? I didn’t mean to upset anyone
