My mum phoned today and told me that my grandma has said I can take the kids down to see her on tuesday. As it happens I do my shopping on a thursday but I sort of huffed and puffed and agreed to change my shopping day.
Thursday is my sons birthday so we're out all day celebrating that.
My mum wants me to go to my grandads with her on friday, I know I should but its such a faff to get there, I have to get two busses each way, one of which takes almost an hour and for myself and the two kids it costs almost £10 in bus fairs which I can't really afford this week.
I'm getting a car in two weeks so was I unreasonable to say I'll take the kids to see him in a couple of weeks when I have the car?
Asise from that, I hate having my days planned for me, I hate having to go and visit people as my kids get bored and start playing up, I get stressed and its a nightmare.
Now, monday I have to go to town, tuesday is booked with my grandma, my mum wants me to go to her house on wednesday (which involves another 2 buses each way trip), thursday is son's birthday and friday my mum wants me to go to my grandads.
Thats my week booked up. I look forward to the holidays as a time to relax and it just turns into one massive stress.
AIBU for a) being fed up at the way everyone plans my week and
b) telling my grandad I'll go down when I have a car in a couple of weeks?
