My DD and family are going to foreign parts for two weeks in July and I have offered to house sit and dog sit. My DH (though not so Dear just now!) was coming with me but has now decided that my absence would be a good opportunity for him to get on with jobs on the boat without tripping over me and the dog (she’s coming with me). He says he’ll take me - it’s a two hour drive - and return home the next day. He is, however, very sticky about returning to collect me at the end of the fortnight. He thinks that my DD should bring me back! I pointed out that, having just returned from her holiday, with four children and a husband tired from travelling, plane delays etc would not be in a good place to add a four hour round trip onto the top of that!
I said I would go by train, but he thinks that would be unwise with an 8-month old puppy and a suitcase, especially as I have two train changes to make and then get from one end of Birmingham New Street Station to the other to make my last connection.
He has now spat his dummy out, along with throwing all his toys out of his pram and told me in no uncertain terms that “if she doesn’t bring you home then you’re not going!”
How dare he tell me what to do!! Do I (1). carry on sticking pins in my little wax doll; (2) say stuff it and go by train anyway; or (3) see if my son, who lives in the same town as my DD, to bring me back
WWYD?
