There has for many years now been long standing issues with my Mum and my brother and SIL. Whilst I won't go into that on here I do feel for Mum although Mum can be a pain and judgmental towards me she really isn't like that with them. She loves her Grandchildren dearly and will do anything for them, as will Dad. I know she finds the fact that she doesn't see them all that often very hurtful. I understand why she feels like this.
However Mum has got a bee in her bonnet about some of the things that my brother and SIL do which she feels is targeted at her. ( With some justification.)
However - 12 months ago my SILs Mum was diagnosed with cancer. She is incredibly ill at the moment and the prognosis is bleak.
Obviously SIL is going and spending time with her Mum and Dad. (They live over 3 hours away.) So my Mum and Dad have always offered to look after the children as and when required.
Yesterday my SIL text me asking would I go up for a few days to be with the kids in the day whilst she is at her Mums and my bro is at work. SIL also said that because my parents are seeing the kids next week and due to the fact that I haven't seen the kids in ages (not since April) she wanted to ask me. I obviously said yes and I am looking forward. I work in a school so am currently on holiday.
Anyway I told my Mum that I was going up there to them and she hit the roof! She is currently hardly speaking to me. She then more or less told my Dad that I was conspiring against her and siding with SIL.
AIBU to think that this is really not my fault and I shouldn't have to put up with this crap?
