On approach to Xmas we always go to see relations, approx 90 min drive away, arriving around noon for 4/5 hours. Only Saturday (I worked Sundays) we're all available is this one, but we're already going to a teatime/evening party with everyone arriving 6-6.15pm. I'd like to be back home by 4pm (it then takes approx 25 mins to get my Mum home and back) to prepare food to take, shower, dress up, get sandwiches and stuff read for work next day as I leave 7am,. Agreed with Auntie we'll go up earlier, she said she'd do brunch.
We always take my Mum, she's well aware we're going earlier. She's just phoned, wants to know what time we're leaving, said around 9.30am rather than the usual 10.30am. She's got one of her now, as
she hasn't got time to get into town tomorrow to buy Auntie any flowers, so she's having to go back in today (already been in today). I volunteered to walk down to Tesco later and get some for her which she doesn't want. Also, banging on about not being able to get her Express paper tomorrow morning - there's a corner shop 10 mins walk away. Mum tells me Auntie isn't happy about us returning earlier, which I really do not believe.
Now I feel unreasonable for wanting to get back early. AIBU.
