My son who is nearly three has a congenital heart defect which leaves him breathless and tired at the best of times, his oxygen levels get low when he's tired and this in effect makes him a little s**t as he's so tired he doesn't know what he's doing. He needs his afternoon nap to stop him climbing the walls by evening!
AIBU to expect the inlaws who live roughly 60 miles away to make their visits around nap time rather than receiving phone calls the day before telling me that they will arrive at 2 o clock "He WILL be up won't he? We're coming especially to see him" they make me feel guilty for wanting the best for him, I'm sure they think I put him in bed just because they're coming ... their attitude is "Oh its only a hole in the heart he's fine ..." I wish it was as simple as that, his arteries are in the wrong place but there you go they won't listen to that either and tell people totally wrong facts about what is wrong with him. I feel its a battle of wills each time they visit. I don't want it to be like that but he's only in bed for 2 hours each afternoon is it too much to ask that they work around this?
Apologies for this turning into a bit of a rant!
