MIL is upset with us atm because we don't need her to look after our dc this half term. Not only does dh have tons of leave he needs to use, we like to see our dc!! We both work and four days a week they are in after school club: half term is a few days when we can spend time with our dc.
The dc don't really enjoy spending time with MIL: she treats them like babies and doesn't do anything with them due to her elderly dog. Even tv is either CBeebies or Disney princess which oddly the 9 yo finds boring.
Even with all that, we want to spend time away from work and with our dc. Is this so terrible? I know she wants to help but I can't stand the guilty tripping of arranging to spend time with our own children.
