SIL caused argument

[user200391001]

Have just spent a few days away with my brother, SIL and 2 nieces. I stayed in the hotel that my SIL works at.
Yesterday my brother, nieces and myself were due to spend the day together. We popped out in the morning and then I needed to go back to the hotel to pick something up I had forgotten.
Whilst my brother parked the car up I went into the hotel with my nieces and my SIL was in the reception. We stopped for a chat and I said to my nieces are you staying down here in reception (meaning with their dad who was on his way in) or are you coming to the room with me which they did.
When brother came into the hotel SIL told him I had told the girls to stay with their mum whilst I went to the room. My brother got angry and said how could I be so stupid leaving the girls with their mum whilst she was working. I explained I didn't understand, I hadn't said that and that they came with me to the room.
I was so upset that SIL lied and the way my brother reacted. I was due to spend time with them today but told my brother it would be best if we didn't meet.

Or that she didn’t say to him remember I am working I can’t be talking to the girls during the day. Given his reaction she may well have reminded him of that and dye took it out on you

you have no idea what your SiL said could simply have been a can you just remind that I am sir king I can’t keep an eye on the girls

But the OP didn’t leave the dcs with their mum
And at 11 and 10yo, they were totally able to wait a couple if minutes on their own. I mean 11yo is a child in secondary and the 10yo is very close to that too. No one needed to ‘keep an eye’ on them.

It is more likely though she said I can’t be talking to the girls when working perhaps.

and whilst I agree with the ages some hotels dint like any children on there on in a posh reception area

the point is though that it was her brother who then reacted angrily she doesn’t know what her SiL said
