WIBU to cut my nose off to spite my own face?

[thepeoplesprincess]

So far this holiday I've been asking my mum to have the DDs for an hour or so a couple of times a week so I can keep up with my regular gym classes.

And she has done it, but with as much snidey ungraciousness as she can muster up with every fibre of her bitter, menopausal blackened soul.

Should I just refuse to engage in her pathetic little power games and stop asking her? But then it's only me who misses out at the end of the day.

If your mother has made it her vocation in life to make you feel as shit as possible, why do you still have a relationship with her - much less use her for free babysitting?

If she really as as bad as you say, you should not be leaving your kids with her at all, never mind a couple of times per week (!). You can't have it both ways, she's either toxic and best avoided or you're an ungrateful and unpleasant brat.
