Basically mil is due to go abroad (not sure I’d even want to go in the circumstances right now) She has two dogs. Never really give a crap about them. Always tried to get us to have them but we cannot. The dogs aren’t good with children. In my opinion she should either take them on holiday with her or book a kennels or a dog sitter..
She’s booked a kennels but complaining about the price she will have to pay and asked if we could take care of them.
Aibu to think if you’ve paid thousands of pounds for a holiday you pay for the kennel price and not complain about it? Or don’t go..
We cannot have them here. Our own dog is nervous of other dogs in her territory and her dogs aren’t great with our children and I would be the not taking care of them here as oh is always working. They are nightmare dogs.
The only option would be for my partner to stay at her house. She lives close by to his place of work so he could come home for a few hours and then go back and stay and go to work. But..
I’m not in a great place at the moment. I’ve just lost a close family member and I want my partner close by. Im not sleeping great waking up having nightmares. If my partner wasn’t here at night I think I would be worse. I don’t like being alone. I have felt a little scared at times. The death was sudden. Both our children have additional needs adding to the stress. I can’t do it all on my own. I don’t like being alone at night time at the best of times.
My partner says I should man up, stop being so self absorbed and let him stay at his mums to save her some money. Saying I’m a grown adult and should learn that I can be alone at night.
It will also throw the children out. Routine is important to them.
Surely I’m not being unreasonable? Surely if you can afford a luxury holiday you pay for kennels too? Or don’t bloody go or holiday in the U.K. and take the dogs!
Personally I don’t think she could go abroad at all at the minute!
