To be annoyed with SIL?

[Pineapple1]

So, I have a few days off next week, next chance I have to spend some alone time with the family will be Christmas after next week.

My other half has decided to agree to look after our nephew because SIL didn't think to organise childcare.(it's half-term).
No offer to pay for anything either. And my other half knew I was 100% against this happening and I saw it coming from a mile away.

So, now I cannot go away with my family, Im stuck looking after a child I shouldn't have too.

AIBU to be really annoyed?

Does your wife get your POV? Or does her family's wants always trump yours.

I’d cancel my annual leave. Harsh maybe but you booked it to take your wife and child away not sit at home babysitting.

Can you change your holiday dates?

Whilst your own DC is small, don’t book school holidays!

Yes it's as many have said a DW problem not a SIL one.

She's not that much of a pushover, she didn't mind upsetting you and ignoring your POV. She put her sister first. You need to communicate that to her and ask why you are coming second.

Personally I'd also be texting SIL and saying that as you're planning a break you can't do the childcare, but that's just me. Since 40 I've found it much easier to be bolshy about what is right for me!
