Iv posted before about how horrible my MIL is, smokes weed around kids, leaves it laying about, gives babies fizzy drinks, teaches them to swear etc..(obviously my kids she's not allowed to smoke around them or give them stuff, she's never had unsupervised visits)
She's one of those that constantly post on facebook about her grandkids and pretends to be a trophy nana..when in reality her eldest son has stopped going around and we've distanced ourselves. She has another son and he takes his kids all the time becajse he doesn't care for his kids wellbeing.
A week or so before Christmas DP was at his mum's and she was having ago because we haven't taken the kids (she never ever makes the effort to come to our house, she's only 54 & works 2 hours in the morning).
DP keeps telling her she needs to make the effort because it's not fair that we trapes our 2 under 2 kids on trains to see her. But we used to go every week/fortnight but we're both fed up with her behaviour.
Her other sons offer to drive her here but she refuses.
However she came once Monday before Xmas and was itching to go after 15minutes.
She never called Christmas to speak to DC infact still hasn't called.
Today our 10mo had an quite a bad accident in which we had to get an ambulance, DP called her to tell her what happened, she wasn't that bothered and shes not once asked if she's ok..the accident happened at about 12.
Aibu to think she should be making checking in as the "trophy nana" she is? Or do I we just stop bothering? This was more of a rant then anything
