To think they could have just effing sat with her?

[icanneverremember]

I had just bathed 2 year old dd and took her to the living room where her GP were sat. I gave her her milk and put on ITNG. She was sat right next to GPS and I said to them "I'm just going to shut the door to the conservatory because I don't want her going outside now and I'll be upstairs bathing other dc."
I was upstairs for about 20 minutes and popped back down for something to find they'd buggered off out to the conservatory to sit and left dd in the living room on her own. The door between the house and conservatory was closed so they couldn't hear her and our house is quite large so they couldn't see her.

AIBU to be a bit pissed off
a) because they should have told me she was now unattended and
b) they're going home tomorrow so it would have been nice if they'd sat with her for a bit

At one point she pressed her nose up to the glass and tried talking to them. They just sat at looked at her

I'm not exactly fuming but Ibam a little shitty about it. It's been the icing on a very long weekend...

YANBU what a mean thing to do!

Yanbu but you will have freedom soon!!

That is totally weird. how sad.

That does sound really crap of them. Even if ITNG was driving them spare, they could have just coped for 20 minutes.

How bizarre. Poor DD. YANBU

YANBU

That's really strange...

YANBU. Gits

How miserable!

YANBU. Pretty poor to not manage 20 mins quiet tv watching with your grandchild.

YANBU. Are these your parents or inlaws?

How do you know about the nose pressing OP? Did they tell you? That would be odd. Did you see it? In which case why didn't you speak to her? I don't want to doubt your report but I don't get it. And it is pretty poor if they can't sit with her for 20 mins.

That was mean.. :( I take it you'll be glad when they've gone?

How odd. YANBU of course. Poor DD

yanbu, bloody weird behaviour!

I hope you said 'cheers for sitting with the bairn while I did bath time.. I appreciate how hard it is' and took her upstairs with you.

Selfish fuckers

a straight "why did you leave her on her own?" would be my response.

very odd behaviour

They are my inlaws. Yes, a bit wierd is exactly what I thought too! I think this is the problem - it's the accumulation of wierd things and trivia but adds up to drive me nuts! They never play with dc. Sometimes they play silly fighting games but then get cross when it gets out of hand (if you're going to pretend hit a toddler then they'll do it back). Dd also had her play doh out earlier. I started to play but got sidetracked by an issue with other dc. I came back to find it abandonded - no one had stepped in and attemptedto engage her in thae game. Just sat around drinking coffee

Did they misunderstand and think they were disturbing a bedtime routine (ITNG, milk etc) and think they were bring helpful?

They are bu. Even if they were miffed at being left 'on duty' they still shouldn't have left her. Not bringing her in with them when she's pressed up at the window is odd.

cardibach as I came downstairs dd followed me into the kitchen then clocked the GPs. She pressed her nose up to the glass, pointed and said grandad followed by some babble. As I was about to step in she then toddled back to the living room and I just left it. All they did was look at her, didn't smile or wave or attempt to open the door - itvwas strange!

I think the possible reason for ignoring her was because that was the door I had asked them to keep closed so perhaps they were trying not to invite her out. But why the hell were they out there anyway? Especially as they knew it was her no-go zone, just seems a bit mean...

I think that is very odd behaviour.
