I know its another MIL one . . .
My childminder is taking one week annual leave at the end of August we have known about this for a long time and asked PIL to come down to our new house and look after DS, this was agreed a long time ago.
They live up north and don't get much chance to see DD (nearly 2yo) although we try our best, DD last went up there to stay for a week around easter time and seen on a couple of weekends since then. PILs are great with DD, spoil her rotten, but that the job of GPs isn't it - esp ones who don't get to see her often.
We work full time and have no family close by to help out, pay a fortune in childcare . . . moan, moan, moan etc. Oh and I'm 30 weeks pregnant. Anyway SIL is also pregnant (about 6 months) and getting her house extended and so is moving in with PIL over the summer whilst she is on holiday from work. PIL see SIL and Dnephew all the time, MIL provides childcare for him two days per week, they have him over pretty much every other weekend - whilst SIL goes out and has a social life (pure jealously!). SIL is a teacher so off on school holidays over the summer.
Anyway now MIL can't come down to look after DD as SIL is having a 'difficult pregnancy'. I just feel a bit pissed off really - I'm not having a great pregnnacy myself and its exhausting looking after DD , working full time and being pregnant. At least SIL is on holiday, staying in the family home that she grew up in whilst her house is being extended and her DS is nearly 4 so not the toddler tantrum stage.
Just feel completely blown off by MIL if I'm honest - like she would prefer to spend time with SIL and DNephew who she sees all the frigging time. Now FIL is coming down on his own to look after DS - which will still be lovely but it seems like alot to ask of him alone and it just makes me think that SILs and their new baby is always going to be priotised over ours - thats sounds ridiculously hormonal now I've written it down.
Anyway - AIBU or hormonal, would you be pissed off?
