My MIL lives 1 mile away. Last night my husband had a car accident. He was in the middle of nowhere and it was quite late in the evening. The car was completely and utterly undrivable. My husband was about three miles from home. My MIL wanted to watch some gardening programme.
My husband phoned me at 8pm asking for me to pick him up. I asked my MIL if she could babysit my six year old son and got the reply, that my husband should walk or take the bus.
In the end I just put my son into the car which I felt was not ideal.
a) I did not know how badly his father was hurt.
b) DH should have had my full attention.
c) I think that my MIL should care about her son.
I am really pissed off because she is prepared to baby sit for my sil. Its not possible to give notice that you need a baby sitter when your husband in a car accident.
Luckily there was only broken glass and no one was badly hurt. However my son did not get to bed until 11pm and was half asleep at school today.
