To not have sent ds to grandparents for hour yesterday

[Theyhaveallbeenused2]

A bit of context ds aged 1 I am separated with his father who unfortunately had to work over seas this Christmas.I work in retail so worked most of last week. Ex mil helps with childcare and had ds Friday and Saturday all day. She asked to get ds an hour Christmas day so he could open present.I suggested she opened presents on Christmas Eve as he was there all day. I hardly seen him all week so was looking good forward to spending the majority of Christmas just us two. Now the passive aggressive comments have appeared on Facebook overnight and I feel like the grinch...wibu not sending get it away for an hour?

What were you doing after 2pm OP? Tbh I don't think I would've killed you to stop in for an hour given how much they do for you.

Will have to agree to disagree on that one piglet

I am not comparing the two in any way, shape or form so apologies if it appears i am

I was trying to explain the origin of the phrase

But grand mother obviously feels she has 'paid' and should therefore 'view'

However, as i stated in my post it does sound like she did have the opportunity to view ....it just wasnt on her terms. Might have that bit wrong though, cant be bothered to scroll back

To all the free childcare comments- we don't actually know that wasn't in place of ex who is away do we?
I would not like my two away on Christmas Day and I don't think it would be unreasonable of me regardless of whether grandparents had had them for me before. She could have dropped round with gifts if it was that important, but not take children away.

Sorry you were a bit unreasonable.. I always let my DC go to my MIL on Christmas Day that never changed after separation from exH . I loved the way my DC had GPs as lots of children have no GPs alive or living nearby
