Am I being unreasonable?

[aab]

Am I being unreasonable for wanting to stay at my mums house with my two children? They are 4 & 6. Since I’ve had my children I’ve always stayed at my mothers house 2 a week with them. I have a very close relationship with my family, and all my siblings still live at home.

I really love staying there as it’s a chance to catch up with everyone, and the children absolutely love it too! Recently my partner has been really unhappy with this arrangement, and wants me to cut down to once a week. I really don’t want to, and it will also upset my family. Am I being unreasonable to carry on with this? Thank you!

Seems overly frequent. I don’t think most adults with their own families would stay over at their parents twice a week! Can you just visit for dinner and sleep at your own house?

Does your partner stay too? What if he wanted to take them to his parents house 2x per week?

What age are you OP? You sound very young. Is your partner the children's father?

Thank you for your responses, I do totally agree it’s excessive etc but it’s a routine that’s always been in place. It just feels difficult to change something that has always happened, without the risk of upsetting people. I’m 32 by the way so not overly young 😂

I think it’s just a case of putting my big girl pants on and cutting down my sleepovers! We’re a very close family and my children’s dad works long hours, so it can feel a little lonely sometimes.
