OK, so I'm 6 mos pg and have a 2 and a 4 year old. We are invites to FIL's 70th and invited to stay the night. We are told DDs will be in one room and we in the other. I have not been sleeping well and am still working. Turn up, realise all in 1 room. DD age 2 does not sleep AT ALL that night. After not one wink of sleep I go downstairs with her at 4am. Dh sleeps and comes to see me at 7am. He is lovely. We decide we need to go home. He goes off to run errands (mowing the lawn at my parents' house - both had dies within 6 mos of each other the previous year).
My MIL comes downstairs at 10am and tells me that she is going to church and then making lunch and then she will look after the girls for me. I say we need to go home. She says we cannot do so as my dh has not slept. I say that he has slept a little but i have not slept at all. She says that she used to manage on no sleep. I say I must get home. She says that the girls will miss out on seeing familt. I tell her not to be inconsiderate. She says I lack gratitude and respect.
