Never used AIBU before..but I want honest answers so ...
4of us booked for a holiday
2 adults parents ..and 2 adults children
Myself and the 2 adult children have diagnosis of autism and ADHD
Eldest adult child 28. Has refused to come on the holiday..
Middle adult child 26 is home but at work and will be around ISH ,of an evening.
Last time this happened Eldest child with autism was not great mentally when we got back and the two other adult siblings had not visited him as promised.
So youngest adult child with autism and DH ( who hasn't a diagnosis of anything but definitely needs one )..have loads of things they want to do .. basically leaving me at the holiday house with two dogs a couple of times for half a day ..or expecting me to come for the day and dogs ,to places over an hour away ,I'm not the slightest bit interested in .
This is holiday by the beach..and last time we went I didn't get a single half day on the beach .
I suggested they leave me on the beach ,or in the town and they go with the dogs to their days out .
That was met with a no ..as they can't manage the dogs where they want to go ..so I need to have them ..
.I can't have a nice day relaxing on a beach with 2 dogs.
Maybe you can ...I definitely can't ..
DH also said no, because they don't want to have to be dictated to about time , having to come back early to pick me up ..
So ive said I will stay home with dogs and eldest child with autism
Obviously that was not met favourably ..they are not happy
Other Adult Dc can not have the dogs as at work.. kennels won't take them as one dog has a life limiting illness and they were not confident taking them because of that .so dogs always end up coming...
So ..AIBU ?
