Usual Christmas related angst so I’ll try to keep things short. My BIL lives a fair bit away and decided he would come for a visit, he has a dog and was told under no uncertain terms that the dog wasn’t allowed in the house (I’m not a fan). He decided to come anyway and stay nearby, there was a massive row on NYE around the dog not being allowed in the house, however this is just for context to demonstrate my deep loathing of all things canine. Anyway, he decided he wanted us all to go for a walk and a pub lunch with the dog, I agreed as I figured it was a compromise and to keep the peace. After driving to his chosen pub he decided us wasn’t suitable for the dog, we then spent most of the afternoon trying to find a suitable place for both the humans (including my 4 very young children) and the dog. When we finally found somewhere suitable ( he reluctantly agreed to a place that had parking directly outside so the dog could stay in his vehicle and he could keep an eye on it), he stormed off back to his B&B because we had been driving around all afternoon and he was fed up! Cue disappointed children who were looking forward to spending time with their uncle and who had also spent an afternoon cold and hungry. I’m livid and want my husband to speak to him about his behaviour but his response is that we know what he is like and to let bygones be bygones, do you think I should?
