dd ill and MIL doesn't care!!!! (bit of a rant...sorry!!)

[2wildbabies]

My dd is two years old and has a high temperature, bad tummy.......she has been poorly since Saturday, poor little thing. She is awake most of the night as her temperature keeps jumping back up. I've got her dosed on medicine...but I have no idea what is up with her, poor baby!!!

My MIL was due to come down tomorrow for her monthly visit so my hubby rang her yesterday, told her dd was ill(high temp, etc)and now today she hasn't even rang to see if she is ok. When my ds was not too good a few weeks ago she was on the phone everyday to see how he was. She just makes me really mad......how can she be horrible to a small child.

I feel better for ranting now.........thanks for listening. Families, eh!!! Anyone want a spare MIL?????

Well... having the oposite problem, we can swap our MILS if you wish, but mind you, after each of her multiple calls you may end asking yorself whether you have told her your baby had a fever or you told her your baby was dying...MILS!!!!

The complete slut bitches!!

(I got rid of my MIL - divorcing her son!!)

sorry if I've missed something, but she's not being horrible to your dd,is she? My 2 yr old dd wouldn't notice if her grandmother didn't ring, in fact, she doesn't, we normally ring her once a week. Maybe she doesn't want to disturb you, as she knows you'll have your hands full. Maybe she thinks the phone ringing will wake up a sleeping baby? Maybe she was planning to ring later, and has gone out for the day?

Have you any reason to think she's being deliberately horrible?

I tend to agree with Tissy. It's best IMO never to assume you know someone's reasons for their actions as we tend to assume the worst and we are often wrong. Her calling isn't being nasty to your dd as your dd will have no idea. She may well not want to bother you this morning.

Nice reasoning Tissy, I would not ring for fear of waking a child who has been up all the night, and yes... I don't think the child is old enough yet to care

oh...she is not a considerate person at all. I know she only wanted a boy not a girl, so she tends to ignore my dd. When sh does ring, she never thinks of children sleeping. She went through a phase a few months ago of ringing at 10:30 at night and woke babies every time....all because she wanted to know how ds was.

Strange woman!!!!!!
