Hello. It's me having a paddy about MIL again
Had a hospital outpatients appointment this aft. MIL agreed to keep an eye on DS (4). she also had his cousin (8) with her. Both kids can be hard work as they get a tad full on at times.
Just got back from my check up and she snaps 'they've been terrible and I'm not having it anymore'
What's been up?'
Running about and screaming and not listening.
Yep, I told you DS was like that, sorry about that, I'll have a word
I noticed that DN was egging DS on but hey, that's kids and I'm biased in Ds's favour. MIL knows I struggle with DS at times. MIL has always treated DN like the sun eminates from her bottom and has told me off for telling DN off.
I apologised again and said 'it's probably 2 singletons who haven't seen their contemporaries for too long'
Then MIL says. 'I had 3 yesterday and there was none of this'
Manage not to implode in front of her but I pointed out that she looked after 2 siblings and a baby after their bed times and it wasn't quite the same was it?
Well if she'd rather care for other 'nicer' kids than her DGKs then, off you go then. I won't ever ask again.
OK, rant over, feel better now. Come down on me like a ton of hardcore and ley me know IABU
