AIBU?
MIL and partner along with husbands younger brother live 50 miles away, just over an hours drive. Like many grandparents she hasn't seen our DD who is 2.5 since the start of lock down. Last week my dad joined our 'bubble' - he lives alone (locally) which has caused a lot of jealously and unfair comments from MIL. He was widowed a long time ago its not as if he's chosen to live alone.
Basically she wants us to travel to her house to sit in her garden this weekend. My attitude is no thanks as is DHs but she is going overboard saying we're stopping her from seeing her granddaughter.
I'd be more than happy for her to do the travelling here and sit in my garden getting p*ss wet through but access isn't easy to our back garden at present as we're half way through a house extension and she certainly won't be coming inside to use the loo! We wouldn't be having visitors lockdown or no lockdown at present.
Are we being unreasonable to saying no? If we did it would save us a lot of aggro for the next 3 months but for me and DD its just too far to sit in someones bloody garden. I'll probably get hammered here by all the people who seem to jump to the defence of every critical post about MILs but in our opinion this is the latest in a long line of her unreasonable behaviour and demands.
