Long time lurker, first time poster but after the day I've had I'm going straight in with a AIBU?!
Sorry for the long post but I'm raging!
Parents came up to visit me and DD today as DH is out all day and I'm due to have DD2 any day. They decided to bring DNeice and Nephew with them to see DD, which was lovely but I said I wasn't able to do much as I'm about to pop.
First thing DM does when they arrive is moan that they can't go to the park and get ice cream because of me ( it's quite far away and difficult to park). Then she moans that DH hasn't cut the grass (it's not particularly long). Then she goes upstairs for a wee and when I go up about 20 mins later, I realise she has bleached my loo!!! I only did it on Thursday!
I then suggest a picnic in the garden and getting the paddling pool out, which is met with delight by the children but derision from DM.
I get sent up sainos to get lunch for everyone and they sit in the garden while I make it, not playing with the kids mind, just sat their talking to each other!
The kids decide to play on our swing set and I can see them through the window. Parents make no move to stand near the children ( who are 2,2 and 5). Inevitably, one child walks behind the swing of another and get knocked to the floor. Parents then proceed to scream and shout at the child on the swing and make him cry because 'he wasn't listening' and should have stopped the swing!
I was absolutely gobsmacked! Who the fuck shouts at a child and makes him cry, who the fuck lets toddler use a swing by themselves and then blames them when someone gets hurt...and who the fuck bleaches someone else's loo!!
Loads of other annoying stuff happened today but these are the main things that have pissed me off!
I must add however that I have a bit of a difficult relationship with my DM and we have very different views on parenting, so am fully aware that I might be over reacting... Also probably a bit hormonal atm, but I really felt sorry for the children today and am really reticent about allowing DM and DF to look after DD1 if that is the way she will be spoken to when I'm not around.
What do you think? Aibu?
