My mum kindly looks after my DS 5 days a week so me & my DH can work. She gets paid a fare rate but obviously not as much as normal child care rates.
Me & DH got married earlier this year which took up most of our annual leave days, this also includes out 2 week holiday after the wedding. My mum & dad also went on a 2 week holiday at the same time and also have 2 weeks off in November (child care is covered)
So, my mum has now told me that she needs to have the a friday and monday off at the end of june to take my dad away for a long weekend. Dont get me worng i know we are all intitiled to a weekend away but i am now really stuck with childcare arrangments.
AIBU to have the hump or am i being petty??

I hope so BIWI, I hope so, because otherwise there's a set of grandparents who need chocolates, flowers and a whole month off

1 - Pay her properly for the job she does.

2 - fall at her feet and fucking kiss them in gratitude that she is willing and able to help you so much

3 - YANBU - YAB a Brat.

£700 per month for a 5 day week

How much do you pay your mum.

Get OVER yourself if it is outside 10% of that. I am with Smug.

If you are a troll, you have green snot and Hermione will get you
