To ask her to find someone else

[Aibuornot99]

I do a favour for my sister 2 days a week which is collecting her child from nursery. The nursery is 2 mins down the road, I drive but I am also knocking on my due date. Get the back pain and some days I resent doing the favour as I would prefer to not go out of the house. She will come for dc about 30 mins after I have collected.

The reasons she cannot collect is that she is in further education.

Aibu to ask her to find someone else for these next 2 weeks? I feel like I am being as it’s only down the road but I would just like a week where I don’t have to do other people favours and just rest . I get back pain and as I’m so far on it’s uncomfortable for me to get up and around. Can’t decide if I am bu or just feel bad for putting myself first.

YANBU! I’m sure she’ll understand.

Will you still be collecting her child after you give birth?!

You should tell her but what happens if she can’t find someone straight away?

What’s her plan when you have a newborn?

@whitesockss I just thought this lol I’m not sure if she will expect me to but I don’t think I will be doing!

Yanbu. I presume she has pickups sorted for when you've had the baby anyway? Hopefully whatever she has organised can be brought forward a few weeks.

YANBU here, if it’s really an effort and you are in pain that you’re
perfectly entitled to ask her to find someone else.

Maybe give her a bit of time
to find an alternative though. And definitely diiscuss the plan post baby.

Yeah, this would be a good chance to make it clear that you won't be doing it after your baby is born. Because you really won't want to, trust me.

YANBU at all. Tell your sister now that you need to stop doing this favour for the foreseeable future.

I don't think it's unreasonable, I could barely drive when I was close to my due date. Just explain what you've said to her I don't think it's being unreasonable and she surely should have someone else lined up once you've given birth?

You could go into labour today! What will she do then?
Tell her she needs alternative plans now for going forwards as you will become suddenly unavailable in the very near future, and then you will not be available at all after that.

Tell her you don’t want to do it anymore.

I strongly suspect she will want you to do it when the baby is born though if this isn’t a conversation you’ve had yet.

I’ve just messaged her and she said she will work something out for when the baby is here but I’ve said I’ll pick up this week but she will need someone else going forward

You're a soft touch lovely sister OP, that's a big favour.
I'm more surprised that your DSis hasn't already stood you down!
