I am SAHM to 3 kids..... 1 at school & twins 2 1/2.... SIL has 7 kids and is 6mths pregnant...plans on having 10 children
MY DH works full time - i dont mainly as if i did work full time after nursery & childminder for the 3 i would only take home around 30 a month... (my choice not to i know)
neither her or her DH works.....
She has just called me to brag that the littlest one has been given a free nursery place (he is 1) to give her a brake - one of her kids has sn .... my twins will be 3 before being offered a place she knows i struggle with the kids but her mum and mil often go down to 'help' out as she has sooo many, my family are unable/don't want to.
I am FED UP of having to listen to her 'brag' about all the things she has (free school dinners, 2 cars, caravan, big pool in the garden, holidays, pedigree pets etc....)

would it BU just to hang up on her next time she call's with 'news' I have asked her nicley to stop as in thats really nice for you but i dont need to know about everything you have etc... but she just dosn't!!!

I totally agree with ur thread op! My sil and bil havent worked a day for bout 20 years. Theyve got four kids get free dinners, car, rent, dont pay no council tax and my mil babysits 3 of them to give her a 'break' while she looks afta youngest one. Why would sumone whos got a 2 parent unworking family need a break ffs, makes me laugh mil never babysits for mine- i have 4 from a hardworking family. If i were u id say nothing, nothing good will come from it!- but i agree she shouldnt pop out so many kids till one of them gets a job! Love my sil though i do, she is lazy and should stop having children she cannot or will not pay forAngry
