I’d lost my phone at home all morning, for about 3 hours. Went out with two year old DD in the car for a quick blast in the park before her nap which is usually 11.15/30 ish. She’s been a nightmare sleeper since day 1 and her naps are precious to me (I got about four hours broken sleep last night) and anyone who knows us, knows this. Came back in the car to find MIL’s car on the drive, she often parks there as her church is over the road and due to road restrictions nowhere to park mid week during the day. Fine. I’ve always said it’s fine. She sometimes asks, she sometimes doesn’t, I don’t really care that she doesn’t check sometimes, if I needed her to move I’d just call her. I’ve told her this. Nevertheless, whenever she hasn’t asked and I’ve seen her she acts like an imbecile naughty school girl like she’s been caught trying to get away with something. I don’t get it but they are a bit weird.
Anyway back to the point... pulled up on the driveway with my DD who had fallen asleep I the car (as was the plan) who I wanted to transfer to her bed rigour waking her and have to do it pronto as if she’s been asleep for more than five mins she won’t transfer. Some of you might think this is crazy but I’m just doing my best and want the best chance of a rest when she’s asleep. MIL comes bouncing over all loud and screechy like a school girl explaining why she’s there. I quickly close the car door so she doesn’t wake my DD. She said, is she asleep? I said “yeah, sorry, got to get her in”, very politely and that was that. Eventually found my phone and did think id text just to say sorry I couldn’t speak earlier and assumed she’d messaged me just checking ok to park on the drive. No text from her, in her eyes she was trying to pull a fast one (no fast one to pull, she’ll never learn that cos I don’t care if she checks or not!!!) My husband wants me to apologise in case she thought I was being rude for not stopping to talk! I think he’s dancing around them like he always does. Was IBU?
