My sister has asked us (me and Dh) to go to her garden to take some fun photos with a dummy she has made of her adult daughter so she can put together a photo montage for her daughters birthday later this month. We’re in wales, both live rurally, but a few miles apart. Her daughter lives in a city.
I don’t quite get the concept, as if my niece is missing everyone and spending her birthday alone (has housemate), surely pictures of her parents, aunts and uncles with her as a mock up dummy/scarecrow would just emphasise how apart she is.
Dh is a bit of a lockdown absolutist, so we’ve been adhering to all the rules and he doesn’t want to have anything to do with this stunt. I’m not so bothered about driving a few miles and having some photos taken . So the dilemma is do I say no to sister (so buzzkill to her jolly japes), or fall out with Dh on either going to sister or arranging for her to come here (ie take pics on driveway).
I know this is a ridiculous situation, but feeling upset about having to a bad guy.
