Well, basically.. I'm 6 weeks pregnant, VERY tired & hormonal.. so not sure if that's why I'm so worked up about this..
Basically, I have told my sister I would have my niece and nephew (6 & 10) for 3 weeks of the summer holidays, while they're dad has them the other 3 ( they're seperated) I did this because I obviously love spending time with them, and so she could earn money instead of having to take time off!
Before I start this rant.. my sister has JUST come out of a marriage, and jumped straight in with a guy she just met.. moved him in straight away. And she is just very very self absorbed. Which is sad to say, she doesn't ever bother with the family, unless in need of something. :(
Well, I'm saving every penny I can for this baby.. and only my partner is in work. We manage and we get by with plenty left over. But it's a bit different when you are use to feeding 2 people, washing 2 people's clothes, bathing 2 people, electric etc has gone THROUGH THE ROOF!! Whilst they've been here, (not begrudging them watching a bit of TV etc) and we have had to get more food in, which all adds up.. to a lot. And I told them I would take them to Crealy fun park.. which they have a pass to get in free ( if they're dad gives it to me) but it's £17 for me to get in and go on NOTHING! BOO! :(
But I told her that I'm skint, so need they're passes or can't really pay for all 4 of us to get in. And she just continued talking about her new boyfriend. . (Which is all she seems to care about atm) & she just hasn't offered us a penny.. I wouldn't take it if it was just a weekend I was having them.. never ever have done. But she has a job, good money & just did a bit of cash in hand work... so she has extra.. surely if I hadn't of had her children she would have taken them to these places.. etc, but she can't even offer a fiver towards any of it. But I don't dare ask. I'm not like that!
Obviously I sound like a total bitch right now, but a little help?!
