We currently live in a european county and are struggling here tbh my mum and dad are here and thats all well and good for the kids although they dont help out much!

Ok so me and dh have been offered a fantasic offer back in the uk and we are over the moon as its a fresh start a really good business venture etc etc!!

HOWEVER......... my mum at first was horrible "youve failed here" etc etc eerr no mum were moving on as we can make a better life for the kids with the new business venture, she has since come round but now refuses to help me with anything! everythings to much trouble for her where as ive always bent over backwards for them! (but thats a different rant!!)
now its MIL that is making me so unbeleivably mad! ok first off im 24 and dh is 30 we have 3 fantasic dc 2 houses that our or own adn currently have 2 businesses that are going great here however we need something new to help our reletionship and family life, ok im rambling ill try and stick to the point!!!
MIL ok first off the offer weve had is from my BIL its his business we will be taking over we are very happy withg facts and figures ect and have looked into it emensly we have had to we have the kids to think about!!
anyway told mil our plans and the first thing she says is what about my 5 holidays a year?? eeerrrmmmm what about seeing your GC whenever you want?? there coming in june and the next question was well how we gonna get form the airport in june we´re really pissed off now! then she says oh well maybe just have to cancel the flights no point having a holiday now!
THEN text BIL "wanting to know what the hell was going on" how dare he offer us the business!! so they have fallen out over it im really upset she sees me and dh as children who cant make up our own minds and that we wouldnt give seriuos thought to moving our children 1500 miles on a whim!!!

Please tell me im not being unreasonable as its driving me mad!!!
If you got to teh end well done!! Gold Star!!
thanks all!! sorry for the lengh!!!

You're not being unreasonable.

But wow, 3 dc, a dh and successful business by age 24! And a command of English that would shame a 12 year old.

Don't worry about me, I'm just . Maybe that's the prob with your p's.
