OK, here's the background. My brother and his wife has their DS2 in October. He was a difficult baby and for 7 or 8 weeks he had day and night the wrong way round, which was obviously very tiring, but he sleeps through now. their first DS also slept through from about 9 weeks, whereas my DS didn't sleep through until he was about 20 months and we got bugger all sympathy and understanding from them!
every jan my brother organises a weekend away for various friends and family, which he wrote out about for jan 2009, but nobody wanted to go this time. it is always a different place, so it's not familiar. I suggested that since nobody wanted to go away, they should come to us. We are further away than they would normally go for the Jan get away, but not massively.
Now he's going, "erm, don't know, only just got baby in a routine" etc.
So he was happy to go away to an unknown place with unknown facilities etc, but now I suggest they get their arses up here (we go down south 6-8 times a year as parents are there too), it's all terribly difficult.
so, MN jury, AIBU?
