My SIL came to stay with us last weekend + offered to bath the dc's on the second night.
Afterwards she told me in a very disgruntled tone that the squeezy bath toys were dirty + had "mouldy bits" coming out of them when squeezed.
Felt embarrassed but checked later + she was right! She'd put them up on a shelf, saying I shouldn't use them again (which annoyed me, it's my house after all)!
By the way, she's fastidious generally, she's the type that if she found a speck of dust she'd tell you, I don't have her here that often if I can help it!! She's still single + complains of having too much time on her hands, (I never have enough!)
Anyway, when she left the following day she said to my dh, "Oh by the way, I've left some money on the side for you + Onthepier to buy the kids new bath toys!" Obviously said very sarcastically as she got in her car + drove off!
I'm furious to be honest, I work part time, always make a big effort with the house + food etc when people stay for the weekend + that was her parting shot, barely a thank you for having me!!
I'm annoyed with dh for not saying anything back + am tempted to phone her myself. He's saying just leave it, we know what she's like. I'm thinking she's in her 40's + should learn some manners! Anybody else found mould in their bath toys by the way? The dc's don't often play with these particular ones but I've obviously thrown them out now!
