My fiance sister is pregnant.........and a pain the the backside.

She has previouslty demanded money for things for her baby (not due till November), money for outfits for our wedding (not till next August) and is generally a pain about her pg and uses it as an excuse to do nothing/let people do things for her.

We are off to DP parents tomorrow for a family party and she is insisting I don't drink and collect her from/drop her at home because she is pregnant and her partner 'deserves a break from the baby stress and to have a drink'. My partner has a broken foot so isn't driving and pil will be too busy with their massive family to fetch her, I don't mand collecting her but don't see why she can't taxi home or walk pil say pregnancy is trouble free. AIBU to say no?

She doesn't work. Her partner doesn't work. Why on earth is she so tired? From watching Jeremy Kyle all day?

Tell her you would understand if she was tired if she had held down a demanding job. For instance if she had just finished a nightshift at A and E you might consider giving her a lift.

And why on earth does her partner 'deserve' a night drinking?

She needs to learn the laws of normal life.

And get a job.

YANBU. I would just say that you can't take her back and she'll have to make other arrangements,

Just say "No". Don't apologise for it and don't explain. Get plastered at the party.

Her DP is 'tired'? Meh.
