This is unreasonable but I cant help it 😂
my cousin lives next door, he has a child the same age as mine, the house is like walking into instagram, always pristine, with a tiny armchair pouf as a toy box, with 3 toys in.
they have alot of money, and rent the same as ours, and we are low wage. They do absolutely nothing with their child, and I mean nothing. They have never taken him anywhere, but my auntie has him every weekend and takes him everywhere, they use it as an excuse to not have to, we invite them everywhere, even my kids birthday parties, or events, they are always a no show, they flake when its child related, and then they post on facebook of them going to a fancy restaurant with their child sat watching the ipad, while we are at the farm, swimming etc.
they sometimes ask if i want to come over, but follow it with only me, not either of my kids, even though their kid is there, and the kids all love eachover when they see eachover in the street.
they work monday-friday full days, and even in half terms and summer, not one holiday day will be taken to do something with their little boy. It breaks my heart that they see him for an hour before bed & then ship him off EVERY weekend.
i cant stress enough, they earn around 150k together, we earn 40k together, and they have told me they do not have any credit etc.
i love their son so much, hes family, it makes me sad that they are not giving him the childhood he deserves with his parents, and they are constantly letting him miss out of stuff because they simply are selfish.
from now on, im going to ask to take him with our boys, im not sure what they will say but i feel a real connection to him as I grew up exactly the same way, and it resulted in basically no childhood at all.
am i out of line for offering to take him?
