Holiday once a month

[Jessica0905]

Just looking for opinions really, and to see if this is normal 😂 My 2YO is watched overnight on a Monday by MIL as I work on a Tuesday until 7pm. Hubby up mega early to go to work and finishes late. Unknown to MIL and hubby I took a holiday from work today and LOVED it. Got up at 12 noon, faffed about, went for a bath and a
lie down later. Contemplating doing this once a month 🤪 Anyone else do the same?

There have been posts on here about people doing childcare favours for others and then it turns out the person hasn’t actually gone to work as usual but has stayed in bed/gone to the hairdressers/shopping instead but not told the poor mug doing childcare! This usually results in cries of ‘cheeky fucker’, but it’s clearly fine if it’s only your MIL.

It's a bit duplicitous

Surprise surprise. The op stops posting when people stop agreeing with her. Yawn

Head over to the drinking whilst babysitting thread OP. You’ll find plenty of support there for the view that your MIL should find looking after your DC a reward, and it’s not just free childcare
