Would you be offended if your Bil picked you up?

[Stressedjustthinkingaboutit]

If you were flying to visit your sister on your own with your kids to another country. Would you be offended if her other half came to pick you up at the airport and drop you at your hotel?
Reason being, it’s at night and your sister is doing bedtime with their dc, would this bother you? Or would you expect your sister to be the one to come?
They will see each other the next morning

I would be grateful to be picked up in the first place!

I would not be offended at all, I would be happy to get a lift!

I wouldn’t have a problem with this but if BIL could do bed time then sisters could see each other sooner. I don’t think it’s a big deal and wouldn’t be offended if BIL picked up.

This would probably be the way it happened in my family.

I wouldn’t be offended. If I wasn’t staying with them, I wouldn’t expect a lift and would you make my own way to the hotel.

Depends what the plan was. Suppose I would be super excited to see my sister and want to have a quick catch up rather than sending dh

I'd be glad of a lift. Not sure what your voting options are though.

I wouldn't be if it was me and if I had a sibling that precious I would tell them to get a taxi. Actually, I'd probably not have invited them in the first place.

I don’t remember ever being the one to post “this has to be a reverse”

OP, who are you in this scenario?

No not offended.

i’d maybe wonder why bil couldn’t do bedtime so my sister could come to the hotel and have a catch up. (Breastfeeding gets a pass 😂)

No, I wouldn't be offended in the slightest - who would be????

Nope not at all. My BIL often picks me up.

I wouldn’t be offended. I have sent DH before to pick up DM or other relatives when I did bedtime.

What a ridiculous question 😂😂 Why would anyone be "offended"? Fuck my life, it's someone being kind enough to provide a taxi service, hardly something to get butt hurt about.

Even the most mumsnet of person who finds offence in everything would be an idiot to be offended in that situation

I'm assuming you are the sister doing the bedtimes

Grown adults don't need a sibling to taxi them from the airport

Won't the sisters see each other later that evening though once BIL has picked up? Will the sister still be up by then?

I think your sister is pissed off your husband is collecting her? Or this has already happened?

No I wouldn't be offended!

Was it your DH that picked your sibling up and they are sulking about it op?

No, I would not be offended.

Wouldn't bother me in the slightest. I assume this is a reverse?

I would be very grateful to be getting a lift at all.

😂

I wouldn't be offended but I probably would wonder why BIL couldn't do bedtime routine and my sister pick me up......

It kind of perpetuates the patriarchy doesn't it, the woman's job is in the home and the man's job is operating the motor vehicle.......

My BiL has picked me up many times. I’m always really grateful to be met and get a lift.

Why on earth would someone be bothered? BIL is part of the family and the recipient of the lift should be grateful that someone is coming to get them (particularly during kids bedtime)
