Who said she would look after my lil one and then when the day comes she says no because he is sick! Also she is staying with me so not like I’m asking her to give up her time! Also she has been staying on and off for a few months and I have been doing everything for her to feel welcome and the one time I ask her a favour she makes me feel like I’m putting other before my lil one and she never offers to have him on his own unless I’m doing the school run! I’m just annoyed as I do so much for her and she just acts so weird when I ask her to look after the kids almost like she doesn’t want to but never says the words NO!

Oh come on. You don't have to be MC or university educated to know that the word is little not lil

Here's a word for you...pedantic.

OP...."Am I being unreasonable?"

Everyone else...YES!

OP.....NO! I'm not

Um no not EVERYONE. There's lots of people on this thread that are in agreement with OP.

I was quoting another user, disagreeing strongly. I hate that kind of post anyway, playground bullying basically.

OP, it isn't unreasonable of your mum to only want to enjoy spending time with her grandkid, and not do actual childminding/babysitting.

What IS unreasonable of her is assuming and expecting you to put her up whenever she feels like it.
She needs to deal with the shit going on in her own house instead of constantly using you as a convenient place to escape to - and dressing it up as wanting to 'help' you.
In this respect she is using you like a doormat.

Put a stop to letting her stay over like this.
Arrange a time when it's convenient for you to have her over for a visit so she can enjoy spending time with her grandkid.
