Ive posted before about issues with MIL but this one I think is more of a DuH issue. DH is usually pretty great about standing with me on issues when it comes to MIL (boundary stomping, her moving out etc.) but I cant seem to get him to see the crazy in this one.
Some BG: MIL does not know how to drive, never learned never wants to. For as long as he has had a car DH has pretty much driven her everywhere all the time. This was still the case when we met. When I was pregnant with DS I was out of work for most of the pregnancy so I took over some of that driving. I would bring her to/from work whenever DH couldnt. Once I went back to work that stopped for the most part (he drives her to work, her sister brings her home.) but i still pick her up 1-2 times a month. Now for the past 3 weeks DH has called to say "MIL gets off at X time" on my days off just assuming I will go get her. I have made it clear each time that this will NOT be happening. I am not her personal driver and it's not my fault she refuses to learn. Now DuH is upset because his uncle is getting upset (DH uncle doesnt want his wife driving her sister home from work every day even though they work at the same place and live 15 minutes away from our house.) We have already agreed that once she moves out (within the next 2 months) I will not be picking her up at all, so he seems to think that in the mean time I should pick her up whenever I am off work so that aunt doesnt have to. I think that she needs to be an adult and either find her own way to work or find an apartment next to her job.
So how can I get DH to understand that Im not trying to be a beach* I am just not responsible for someone else's transportation when Im 30 1/2 weeks preggo with a 14 month old at home. I refuse to spend an hour every time I have a day off driving in the car with a fussy 1 year old to go pick her up.
