DM lives long distance away & staying with us for 2 months holiday. We came back from 2 weeks in Europe with us, her & MIL in early hours on Friday morning. Woken by DH after only 3 hours sleep as he had severe ear infection. In last 2 days have spent 12 hours @ A&E with him and DD21 (another ear infection). During this time also picked up dog, grocery shop, prepared meals, washing etc.
She has hung out 1 load of washing. Rest of time sat with her feet up watching me race around & DH in extreme pain. Even got DD18 to make her a sandwich today. Has not offered to help look after younger DCs.
This is pretty typical of her as 'she's on holiday'. Even when not her world revolves around her. How can you watch your family struggling & not help.
If I say anything will just get tears. She goes home in a week so not worth it. Sorry for rant but couldn't keep it in any longer.
