He decided he's coming with us without even asking

My sister and I are taking the kids to a pumpkin picking thing this weekend. Due to various things I don't get to spend much time with my nephews and it was meant to be a nice day out for all of us. I paid for the tickets for us four.

Sister mentioned it to her partner last night (who isn't the kid's bio dad!) and he's booked a ticket today and told her that he's coming. Never even asked if I minded.

I'm peeved because he always manages to spoil the day - he's quite grumpy/sullen and also expects coffee and stuff bought for him but never offers. It also means I'm going to have to unpack stuff I've got in my car so he can sit in the boot. I'm so annoyed I feel like cancelling the entire thing. I also don't know him very well and feel like I can't relax when he's around.

Aibu?

As you're unwilling to tell him he can't go, absolutely no point in this thread.

Who made you the Mumsnet thread police? 🙄

I agree...

Can't control what you're sister decides in life but you can control your own..... i.e whether you give him a lift or not.

Hope Friday wasn't too awful OP, did it end OK?

@LeakyTapTap How did it go, OP? Or did it not?

PonyPatter44 · 02/10/2022 23:03

He doesn't even drive? What an utter dribbler - what on earth does your sister see in such a clingy inadequate little twerp?

I hope you managed to have a reasonably nice time regardless of Dribbly.
