Hey there mumsnetters- I’m hoping for your input on this- I fear it’s me BU, my Mum shrugs and thinks so whenever I bring this up...
So MIL & SIL. Nice enough, been with husband a total of 11 years known each other 20 years. Anywho, we have 3 DC.
Whenever it’s school hols and mil or sil want to see our DC it’s always just the older 2 never the 2 year old which is fine, I get that 3 can be too much and DDs age then limits their activities. But whenever they do want to have my DS1 and DS2, it somehow involves me. Either picking them up from a location or driving them to MIL for them to go on about their day and MIL always gives very specific times for me to collect them. Now I’ve never asked for them to have the children, SIL has a DD who is 10. SIL also works in a school as some kind of TA & thinks she knows everything & anything about children and ASD (dS2 as asd among other things)
Now am I being unreasonable to think that if you’re wanting to take my sons out for the day or for an activity (always happy to pay for my children btw) then they should come pick them up from me at home and drop them off?? Why does it have to involve me and DD?! Drop off and pick up times usually leave little time for me t get on with anything else or go anywhere else so it take up my day too, drop off would be 11 pick up 3.30 for example- and MIL loses it if I’m late! Thanks for reading if you’ve got this far 😊
