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 don’t know what the problem is to be honest.

Are you the person arriving at the airport in this scenario? I assumed so until I read the last sentence. When you say “They will see each other the next morning” who is “they”?

@Stressedjustthinkingaboutit just ask your sister?!

as long as she knows beforehand, it’s perfectly fine I’d say

just tell her the outline of what you’ve told us, say you’ll FaceTime her when your DH has picked her up but too tired to come and pick them up after the time with you’re parents and DC and will send them in the morning

Wouldn't bother me.at all.
Personally I'm not confident in picking up from our airport . I'd do it during the day but would be less happy doing it at night. DH would probably offer to go.

Good grief, no, I wouldn't be offended. It's such a small thing. I'd be grateful for the lift, and it isn't as if he is some stranger. BIL or not, he is part of the family.

Who is Bill?

It's a bit lazy of your ds. She could easily have picked you up and bil could have done bed time, unless sis can't drive.

Shorthand for Brother-in-law.

Sister A is arriving at the airport. Sister B is not meeting Sister A on arrival. Instead, Sister B’s husband (and therefore A’s BiL) is going to meet Sister A.

OP is the sister at home doing bedtime.

I think anyone offended by a lift from the airport is an ungrateful human.

Wouldn’t bother me, but my BIL can both put their kids to bed so it probably wouldn’t happen.

You're way overthinking this

Depends which country? Maybe he doesn’t like her driving around at night (I don’t). My BIL always came to pick me up from the train station when I went visit them both down south. Depends if she feels comfortable with him, if not get a taxi.

I'd be very grateful

I've been the visiting sister. Short haul flight, arrived about 9pm local time with my 18 month old and 8 yr old dc. BIL (who speaks a different language to me) picked us up and dropped us to our B&B. Slightly awkward but not the end of the world. I'm easy going though

Why would anyone be offended? It's very kind of BIL to pick you up & drop you at your hotel considering you're not even staying with DSis & him.

@StormySpanielz Sorry (not sorry) to derail the thread but your username made me laugh out loud. Fabulous.

Why on earth would anyone be offended.

I've picked both of my SILs up from stations and airports over the years. Nobody had a problem with it.
