AIBU - about return travel time

My wife is 25 weeks pregnant, and we have a 2 year old son. She takes him to see her parents on a weekly basis on a set day. She go's early whenever she's ready, and I'm going to work. I only ask she drives back (motorway drive) about 40 mins away to leave in daylight time/hours to avoid driving in the dark. This has invariably never happened, and getting later and later. Last week was 8.30/9pm and next day he usually go's to nursery which can also be a little disruptive to his sleep.

today Ive checked the tyres, and reinflated for her car before going to work as two were a little low on air, as some concerns tyres need changing. Again ive asked her to come back in daylight before 7/7.30pm to avoid motorway driving in the dark. Weve had a row, as she thinks I shouldnt be telling her to come back at a certain time.

Is safety not the priority and am I being unreasonable?

YABU - there is absolutely no reason why she shouldn't drive in the dark, if she is happy to do so. Most people do!!!!! You really shouldn't be telling her when she can and cannot drive!

I might be slightly concerned about the late bedtime for a 2 year old, but that depends on lots of other things. And that doesn't seem to be your main concern anyway.
