To want to fly home with our DD?

Backstory:
DD is 8 months old had started solids but is still breastfed.
I have very, very little to do with DHs side of the family. I don’t get on with them, I don’t like them and vice versa so I don’t believe in spending parts of my short time on this earth with them unless it’s a big occasion/will cause fuss if I don’t. Before anyone starts saying “LTB” over my DH- it affects about 5% of our relationship, the other 95% is all good so I’m not leaving my partner over wanting to spend time with his family

SIL announced at Christmas time she was getting married. It was DDs first Christmas so PIL and SIL came over from Australia, stayed in a hotel and I only had to deal with them for a couple of hours on Xmas day.

SIL asked me to be a bridesmaid which took me massively by surprise. I thought it was her way of trying to build bridges so I accepted. Then she said babies weren’t welcome at the wedding- I then pointed out it wouldn’t be feesable as I physically couldn’t leave my child for 2 weeks (which would of been the minimum we would of gone to the other side of the world for- those who have been will understand you need the first 4/5 days to get over the jet lag) as she relied on me for nutrition and I wasn’t comfortable leaving her for a prolonged period of time. Not to mention my parents are in their 80s and couldn’t cope with a near toddler for 2 weeks.

SIL at first caused a fuss, couple of days later ran and agreed DD as her niece would be welcome. Great- or so I thought.

Me and DH arrived here yesterday, the wedding is next weekend. We went round to PIL for dinner and to meet SILs fiancée, and she introduced me to a neighbour who “would look after DD while we were at the wedding”. I was gobsmacked.

Ask what she meant and she said DD would stay with this complete stranger I had only just met for the day while I was at the wedding. I believe my precise words in reply were “you can fuck right off”.

SIL is refusing to have DD at the wedding so I have three choices- a) try and get my DD used to a bottle while we are in a strange country, surrounded by people she doesn’t know and is struggling with jet lag b) I refuse to go to the wedding and let DH go (which of course I’m fine with) but enjoy the rest of our holiday with DH or c) I book me and DD flights home on our credit card and leave DH here to holiday alone, again which I’m fine with.

Apparently I’m unreasonable if I do anything other than option A. Couldn’t give a shit what the out laws think and DH is upset too and agrees I’ve been blind sided but understand he wants to spend time with his family.

AIBU to want to go home?

HomeWard93 · 02/03/2024 23:47

I don’t think I’ll enjoy the time now but I suppose from practicality point of view B is the best option.

SIL and PIL are blocked and DH has passed on that neither I or my DD (until she is old enough to make the decision herself) will see them or have anything to do with them again.

Im already the bitch who took their “boy” away (me and DH met when I was travelling over here, he got a job in the UK and then we got married) and I do feel bad as DH loves his family and he sees so little of them (before the Xmas trip he hadn’t seen them since our wedding pre Covid). I don’t really care what they think but I do feel bad leaving DH to deal with this when he’s meant to be spending quality family time.

Do you really feel bad though? It doesn’t sound like it. I feel sorry for him too. And them. Massively.

Your sister in law was stupid, thoughtless and possibly even calculating in telling you your daughter could come - but did she say to the wedding? If she did, she has shifted the goalposts, and you have every right to be pissed off. If she said she can come with you, as in over there while you attend the wedding, because she has arranged childcare, you should have probably clarified that she would be allowed to attend the wedding also and that family would look after her while you were involved with the ceremony etc. I’m surprised you didn’t check this with your husband’s parents before you left. What’s more surprising is you telling her to actually fuck off right before her wedding day!!!

Even if she’d got you there under false pretences you obviously don’t give a shit about your relationship with her, or your PIL. There were other ways you could have shown her suggestion was inappropriate/ she was out of order without being openly abusive and aggressive.

If she doesn’t have kids and is pre-occupied with her wedding (as most brides are) she probably didn’t give it a load of thought. Surprisingly, she might have had a litany of other logistics to focus on besides you. She probably thought she’d come up with a solution which allowed you all to go etc. so she could have her brother share her big day, you’d be involved and she’d get to spend time with her niece before and after and that you’d actually be grateful. Obviously it was the wrong thing to do but you clearly resent her and her parents anyway so you were bound to react even more negatively to what was a silly, impractical suggestion.

Your husband obviously is well aware of your deeply negative feelings towards his family and is making allowances to accommodate you. Just what have they done to make you hate them so much? Is it mutual? Clearly not as his sister asked you to be her bridesmaid FGS - bet she regrets that! Does he get on with your family? How often are you allowed to see them? A considerable amount more I’m guessing, presuming they live in the UK.

What if, when your daughter is older and meets someone - perhaps travelling, like you did, or not, and they happen to take a profound disliking to you, would you be happy at the minimal amount of contact she (and her baby) would have with you because of this?

I have no idea how your ‘outlaws’ have offended you other than you feel they resent you for taking their boy away* *and I don’t know how they express this to you, but given that you’ve said he loves them and he still has a good relationship with them but has only seen them - once was it? - since your wedding, and you now have a child together - wtaf?! Presumably he would see them a lot more often given the opportunity but he hasn’t. Is this due to finances or bc he knows you detest them and would make it unbearable for him?

You’ve now told him to pass on (RIGHT BEFORE HIS SISTER’S WEDDING) that they are all blocked and you and their granddaughter/ niece won’t be having anything to do with them again until she is older. Do you normally overreact this way? Why have you decided to punish the parents as well as the sister? And what gives you the right to decide this when your husband is equally her parent? Presumably when she’s older that won’t happen anyway as you’ve successfully alienated her father from them and with NC she’s only going to have your side of the story as to why her dads family are a load of despicable cunts and she’s better off without them. Seriously??

Have a word with yourself, OP, and GROW UP.

Believe it or not, this isn’t all about you. If you really love your husband, suck it up and try to make this trip as easy and as pleasant for him as he no doubt would for you seeing your family, that is if you’re still on speaking terms with them. You sound alarmingly selfish and high maintenance so I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re also banned or walking on eggshells as well.

Who knows when he will see them all again - if one of them suddenly dropped down dead before he does how do you think that would make him feel towards you, knowing you have put a stop to him (and his daughter!) seeing them through your petty, entitled, selfish attitude? It’s not like you have to see them every week, month or even year!

You’ve spoilt this trip and ruined what should have been a wonderful family celebration bc you didn’t clarify the situation and you’ve overreacted to a thoughtless suggestion. Nobody has died. Anyone would think they have purposefully ruined YOUR wedding day with the way you’re carrying on.

Get over it and be kinder to your husband and daughter - they’re her family too.

MCOut · 03/03/2024 05:19

Yazzi · 03/03/2024 02:04

Option B, and announcing that your in laws will never see their grandchild again on the week of their daughter's wedding all because she came up with an unsuitable arrangement (which you haven't even clarified whether PIL endorsed or not) is insane, and whether or not it makes you as bad as them, it certainly makes you look it.

This. To use the MN phrase, you sound like hard work. SIL’s solution was disrespectful and impractical, but you could have declined firmly and politely and could have dealt with any resulting dramatics in the same way. Swearing at your IL was not the way to go and if you are usually this explosive they are not unreasonable to dislike you and you can’t be sure your husband isn’t going along with you for a peaceful life.

B is the answer here, don’t compound your already OTT behaviour by making your husband’s life even more difficult.

ttcat37 · 03/03/2024 05:21

Obviously don’t go, and obviously don’t fly home now you’re there. Enjoy your trip.

I would hazard a guess that SIL doesn’t want you in her wedding anymore (did she ever? Or did she say your daughter could be included to ensure you brought her to Australia to see your PIL?) and by saying silly things about the neighbour babysitting she knows you’re going to back out, and she doesn’t look like the bad guy for uninviting you.

MachiavellisBF · 03/03/2024 05:21

Boomarang · 02/03/2024 23:53

B. But I’d say you’re not refusing. Just politely decline.

DD has a fever, or a loose nappy, not feeding… whatever. Not happy to leave her.

Then get on with your holiday, what a shame DD was poorly etc etc, have a lovely time and then leave them all back there at the end.

I wouldn’t create hostility given they live on the other side of the world as it’s just going to take up emotional space for you. A bland grey stone, so to speak….

Choose your battles!

SIL doesn’t have kids. So I would forgive her for having no clue about how hard it is to leave them.

Edited

This. I would be gracious and pleasant about it and spend time with your daughter. The clueless Bridezilla can get on with her day. There might be momentary satisfaction in telling her to go herself but it’s really not worth it. Let your DH enjoy his family while he is there.

boozeclues · 03/03/2024 05:24

B!! Where are you staying, if with PILs I would use the credit card to stay in a nice hotel and not see them for the rest of the trip

AIBU to want to go home?

well done op standing your ground

no not let her bully you and make your child to be forced to take a bottle and stay with a complete stranger- how crazy idea!

i would be on my way back home or i would go sightseeing with the baby on the day of the wedding

IloveAslan · 03/03/2024 05:48

crumblingschools · 03/03/2024 01:11

I would go option B.

For those saying the OP is overreacting, she did say in her first post that the in-laws don’t like her and then they think she is the bitch who took their son away. So not sure blocking them is dramatic.

She also says she doesn't like them, so it's hardly one sided. Completely dramatic over-reaction, but I don't imagine they will be too upset by her blocking them. Harsh to block them from seeing their GD however.

Funny how MILs are always the villans and DILs the saints - typical MN.

IloveAslan · 03/03/2024 05:50

Well said @Sceptical123.

RandomForest · 03/03/2024 05:56

Funny how MILs are always the villans and DILs the saints - typical MN.

I've always found there's usually a pretty stupid or self entitled SIL involved in the mix.

Op I would have flown home, but if finances don't allow go for option B, but you do realise you may spend longer than 1 day alone, I should imagine his family may wish to monopolise/see him and the baby during the 2 weeks.

The truth is they lied and got you there under false pretenses, I would have been upset to.

Zanatdy · 03/03/2024 06:02

That’s shocking. I’d go with option B. No way should you be made to leave your bf baby with a complete stranger if you’re not comfortable to do so (and who would be)? Sorry if it ruins her plans but she should have been straight with you, to lie like that is beyond unacceptable. I’d stay though and just chill at home the day of the wedding and enjoy your holiday the rest of the time

This. Thereis no need to be abusive. Your husband will have the same family forever and he shouldn't have to choose between them and you.

Also I would hope for Option D ..
A heartfelt apology from SIL (She needs to convince her fiance to agree to not have a child free wedding) and a retraction of the baby sitting idea.

I hope your DH family realise their mistake and build a bridge that you and DD are willing to walk across. You will not have to spend lots of time with your inlaws due to your home base but it is horrid for DH if the relationship can not be repaired.

You are right to be offended but be open minded to an apology.

Toblerbone · 03/03/2024 06:08

Go with Option B, but I agree with pp that this really isn't a reason to block your in laws and never speak to them again.

iwafs · 03/03/2024 06:08

SIL/MIL were very naughty trying to blindside you and coerce you into leaving your dd.

I do completely understand why you were quick to say no fucking way and why you reacted angrily. And also agree that there’s no way I would have left either of mine with a rando like this.

However, I do think it would have been better to have calmly said about the babysitting: “no thanks, that isn’t ok with me. You told me she could come” Next time you get into some conflict like this, try to not let it turn into WW3.

Zanatdy · 03/03/2024 06:11

stopping your in-law’s from seeing your child completely is awful. This seems very spiteful and is incredibly unfair on your DH who doesn’t get to see his family much. Fair enough you don’t want to see them, but to prevent your DH taking his daughter to see them again whilst you’re staying there in Australia is a horrible thing to do. I mean we don’t know the full story but to prevent a relationship over something their daughter did is really over the top and selfish. Never use children as pawns to get back at people (family) you don’t like, especially when it hurts your husband too.

I'd probably go home if I could afford it and wouldn't waste another day somewhere you don't want to be (I wouldn't if it was going to cause me real financial hardship!)

I can't believe posters are telling you you're unreasonable to be mad about the situation though, you've travelled half way across the world at considerable expense to your time and bank balance under false pretences. How anyone thinks it's acceptable for the lies and for you to leave your baby with a stranger is beyond belief! And to let them off the hook purely because you don't see them much? Absolutely not! So what if it's their wedding week, it doesn't give them the right to behave like arseholes with no comeback.

I'd certainly be saying the same as you, they're not that bothered about your kid are they, not wanting them at the wedding after not seeing her for so long and thinking she's safe in the hands of someone you/dh/baby don't know! The in laws are so far out of order here and in the real world, no one would be happy with this scenario!

Please don't think you've over reacted because couple of posters say so.

This. I can't believe posters saying the OP overreacted when she's been lied to, has made an extraordinarily expensive trip because of that lie, and even more important, the in-laws don't give a shit about their 8 month old niece/gc.

OP, I think option B is the practical one. There is nothing you can do about your shitty in-laws but you can enjoy the rest of the holiday with your DH and DD.

I'm so sorry you and your DD have been treated so appallingly.

user1492757084 · 03/03/2024 06:15

Yes, it seems like you did over react very quickly, Op.

Maybe it was never meant that you would have no say - but just that the neighbour as a babysitter could be an option for you to take up. You might have used her for one hour while you had your hair done, once you'd met the woman.

Don't be rediculous, they are either exceptionally dim or very manipulative, no wonder their son now lives half way across the world.

Flying home is just cutting off your nose to spite your face. And all of the nonsense blocking and refusing access to the child just makes you seem childish and silly.
