My MIL asked DH and I to take his sis to theme park near us for her 16th and she would babysit DD (8mo). As we've moved away from family and friends, I was so excited! I have only been away from DD max 2 hours (dentist) since she was born, and never get to spend time doing fun things or time with DH .
Last night she called and said why dont we all go??? As in MIL, FIL, sis, us and DD. I was so disappointed I cried , I'd been really looking forward to my first day off! I'm sure DD does not want to spend the day confined to a pushchair, I'll have to pack all her food, bottles, million toys and when she gets ratty who is going to have to sort her out? ME! This is not a day off at all I'd rather stay at home and let them go!
DH wants to tell her and ask her to babysit, but I dont because it was my choice to have DD and its my tough luck, if they want to go to the theme park then fine. I'm just so disappointed it was like having a carrot dangled in my face and then snatching it away. Other times she says she'll come up to see us for the day and then turns up about 5 when DD is ratty and we're in the throws of winding down for evening routine and waited in all day. She's driving me mad.
So, am I being unreasonable to be so disappointed? It makes me feel like a bad Mum to be so.
