To leave 2 year old at home?

[Ember12]

Me and my oh have been discussing going on holiday with the children in in late august, i was telling my mother about it and she offered to look after my 2 year old for the week spoke to my oh and he thought it was a great idea he would ask his parents to help my mother out that week aswell, we would be be able to go to theme/water parks and take the older 2 on rides etc without one of us having to stay with the baby. Would be able to relax alot more around the pool ad my older two are very confident in water. Anyway were having holy hell over it all with my brothers girlfriend what awful and selfish parents we are and how my mother is playing favourites! My mother works 12 hour shifts 5 days a week and takes turns looking after all her grandchildren 1 stays each sunday night so no favouritism at all! She looked after my brothers children for 3 days while they went on a short break. Aibu in accepting my mothers offer? Or does it really make me a selfish and awful mother?

Blue are you drinking! I mean typos but you're post makes no sense!!

Or are you angry messaging and making loads of mistakes?

Calm down be rational!

Let me say it again:

How very lovely of you darling. I always wanted to be iconic.

That do you?

Sigh.

Wow is this insanity still going?!! Just caught up after another long day. It’s nearly at 1000 post people, come on someone help me out and go for ‘worse than hitler’... my bingo pen is poise and it’s the only square missing!

Blue I said ironic! 😂

So funny, third time lucky hun??

The hypocrisy is unbelievable

Weebo, love the sigh but I think blue might get it right next time so don't sigh at her!

And the total lack of humour.

Hey :) The 1000 mark is coming up. If we keep posting cocktail recipes, it'll disappear into the Mumsnet void lol

Just don't start a continuation thread lol

Blue, don't get it? Sorry!

Worse than Hitler!

Btw for what it’s worth OP - go, have fun and do what’s right for your children as individuals. They are all different and have different needs at different times, responding to that reality is a good thing not trying to shoehorn them into doing the same thing for the appearance of fairness.

BINGO

Ahhh... I can relax!

You do know that you've crossed over from being startlingly unfunny and exceptionally mean into plain offensive with this, right?

This thread is nearly dead - thank God, otherwise I would be reporting.

You could invent a new one! The MumsnetShamerSlammer or something.

Or the Mumsnet Deranged Daquiri.

Do read everything before getting your knickers in a twist SheGot.

Anyway, adieu, adieu. It has been interesting.
