I’m so bloody pissed off with my sil and her selfish attitude. She’s still sending my 2 year nephew to the childminder 3 days a week. Her husband works as a radiographer (cancer treatment) and she works doing research at a university and is currently working from home (writing up research I think). This means bil is a key worker but she’s not! Sil in law has decided that she’s going to use the key worker golden ticket and still send her son to the childminder. Both myself and dh are teachers and I explained that she shouldn’t be doing this. Childcare is now just for when there is absolutely no one at home to look after a child. It is NOT for when the other non key worker parent just wants some piece and quiet to work. Her answer was ‘well I think it’s the best decision for us, I can’t get anything done with him here’. Half the bloody country are having to manage. I don’t see why she should be such a special case. For example, today I helped my son do his school work, entertained my pre-schooler and responded to endless emails from the kids I teach. She’s putting so many people at risk with her selfish attitude. I didn’t send my son to school and my daughter to the childminder so I could ‘get on with things’. I just managed - like everyone else is doing.
