to expect in laws to visit dc at our house after they have complained about not seeing them enough.

[sleepdeprivationandme]

They dont want to come to ours. I am sooo knackered - ds has had minor op. ds1 been unwell still recovering ds2 teething . No sleep. I am in no fit state to drive. Am weepy.

No hot water, pulled something off the wall I shouldnt whilst looking for a flap/reset bloody button now no hot water and exposed live wires. Plumber supposed to be coming this afternoon.

Have to wait till father in law comes at 12.45 (as was out last night, pissed) to take ds1 to in laws. They are not seeing ds2.

FFS!

Oh and Mother in law does not work but still wont come to our house through the week EVER but spends teh first 5 mins of each time we see them maoning about how 'its not good enough' that they dont see the boys for 2 3 weeks.

God this feels good.

are they in the same town as you?

The next town - 1/2 hr drive.

Well they can get of their arse and visit you.

Quite! Thanks for the vote of confidence norks!

Hope you manage to get some sleep today and that ds is feeling better really soon.

There is no excuse for them not to visit you more... Could you say something to them next time they moan about not seeing your boys??

YANBU, they should get their arses round yours and bring dinner with them and flowers for you and chocolates. Then MIL should take home a pile of washing and bring it back for you ironed.

They are self centred old gits, little one, you must be a psychic!

Thanks lardy, off to bed within the next few mins.

I have more chance of turning into Linford Christie than them offering actual practical help mum2, but I love love love your idea. I might put it to MIL, I could do woth a laugh.

Anyway good news hot water again, no live wires - actual practical help from my auntie and uncle. They have taken ds2 out for a walk. My family are so much nicer.

We are going to. Too much on at the mo anyway.

You stop at home with your little one this xmas - first xmas with baby is sooo lovely.

Do you remember the gransnet campain for adopting a granny? Well I might start one for divorcing the grandparents. I put my dc's nan and grandad down (and literally down if I could ) for starts.

can't your dh take them over to his mums and you stay home and rest. I'd never in a million years go an sit round my in-laws house. Either DH takes them or they come here (where I am the boss)

I think thats is a proper grand idea.

They probably still think we are in the 1950s when every Sunday afternoon young families would crank up the Ford and visit the olds, whether they wanted to or not.

If you want to see them, then go and see them.
If they want to see you, they come and see you.
It's not rocket science.
