In laws here to help

[Lancaste12]

So in laws are here for 2 days 'helping'
MIL deserves a medal for surviving as long as she has.
FIL is incredibly reliant on MIL for everything.
He has had a great time with my toddler in the mornings and its lovely.
But (!) yesterday he told me how he'd had a lovely morning. Changed toddlers nappy etc. And then left said (poo-y) nappy in the bathroom. But he had told MIL. I assumed it was in the bin. Nope. On the floor (wide open) all day. Why on earth is it down to MIL to put it in the bin?! Is he not capable?! She forgot to shift it as she'd been running round all day after the kids. So i stick the nappy in the bin.
Today i get back from work. Awful smell coming from the bathroom
Go in, another nappy (this time a revolting wet poo) on the floor wide open, and this time the whole contents have leaked through onto the wooden floor.
MIL -oh yeah, he did tell me
He shouldn't bloody have to!!! Why has HE not put it in the bin?!
Honest to god!
Now scrubbing the stained (once beautiful) wooden floor
Am i being an ungrateful witch?!
Bathroom smells like a hamster cage and there is now a revolting brown, stinking stain forever more on the floor
🤦🏻‍♀️

Yeah it's a bit annoying having a bad memory.

I have a friend who used to do this continually in her own home!

I have a FiL who has been looked after by women his eater life. I get equally maddened by his assumption that a woman (his wife, me) will inevitably deal with everything. He will walk into the hall, kick his shoes off in the middle of the floor, drop his coat on the floor and just walk off. I could scream!

Mind you, he'd never even dream of changing a nappy!

You have my sympathy

How old are they. Are they struggling to manage looking after the kids.

I’ve just stopped asking my parents to look after my children for more than 2 hours (not that they did often anyhow) because they just can’t manage it. The first indicator for me was the house being an horrific state and basic stuff not done (not expecting a tidy home but it was like crisps packs all over the floor, letting the kids sticker the wall etc).
