It's Hurricane Lee, our governor, news media, etc., has been warning our state for the past week. I am taking care of my special need grandson who is non-verbal. During the transition of having my grandson live with me, I had to install the Internet, he needs his tablet. My grandson's parents are out of the picture and he is going through a difficult transition.
Whenever I have lost power my DIL, has always told me that I have an "open invitation" to their house, plus they have a generator. Come over, come over...even if I had power, come over anytime. I'm welcomed anytime.
Remember, I have no power, no Internet connection and no wifi phone. I packed an overnight bag for my autistic grandson along with food that he likes to eat. Idk how long we will be without power.
I show up, DIL, is quiet. She tells me that my 40 yr old son had to take their two younger sons out so she can have alone time. I apologize that we messed up her time. I asked her if she had everything running on the generator and she said no.
After her movie, she does a few things and hides in her bedroom. This is the FIRST time that she met her nephew, no interest on her part to even to get to know him.
My son called me while I was at their house and said today was my DIL alone time and said I shouldn't just show up without calling. I told him I had no power, no wifi phone. He hung up on me after I had told him, I thought I had an open invitation.
He tells me by text that McDonald's has Wi-Fi and by the time he comes home, he is shutting off his power to his house so no Wi-Fi for his nephew. He has his two other sons sneak upstairs and not to talk to me while we are sitting in the dark.
I used the flashlight on my phone to go upstairs to say goodnight to my grandsons, as I get upstairs my DIL tells the boys to be quiet. I told my grandsons goodnight and gave them each a hug & kiss. I'm told that I'm just rowling my grandsons up, it's 7:30 PM.
They kicked us out in the rain with no lights on in the house to see. We were only there for 1.5 hours and my lights came back on by that time at my address. Normally, when we lose power, it's for days. I had texted a friend and asked if she could drive by my residence because my son has lied to me in the past. She and her husband offered us to come over in the middle of the night, if we lost power again.
AITA in thinking that my son and DIL wouldn't mind for showing up in bad weather when we had no power.
