ok. here goes, dh rang his mum to see how she was. she commented that she hadnt seen dd for 3 wks. said that dd was ill and said that u need to take her to a+e! ( she was coughing, lethargic and rosy cheeked) said that our doc tend not to give drugs to under 5 s and she told him we should change docs! as dd sis s kids get all sorts of stuff from their doc. felt bad that i hadnt been round to see thyem but dh has had a few days off in last few wks and he has nt been so didnt feel it was fair to put all the blame on me, (nobody pointed finger just felt it ) next day dd has txt from his dad saying that dd will not know who he is! i felt this is imature and unecessary! feel stuck in middle as they only have to ring and they could call round anytime they like. dh sis has them on the phone every day and is always asking for help and they call down there a lot. she lives round the corner from me ( well 2 mins AWAY) IT REALLY PISSES ME OFF THAT THEY WANT TO SEE MORE OF DD BUT DONT ASK! is it up to me? should i ring them and call round more often than i do? ( i only go down with dd and dh) they will have dd at the drop of a hat if i have to work... ive not spoke to either of them for a while and early this morning my agency rang to see if i could work tomorrow so i rang mil at 0830 ( they not early risers) and she said it was fine.. now i fell bad and that i had the bare faced cheek to ring them when i needed something.. but isnt that what families do.. not sure whether to say anything or just leave it when i drop her off in the morn.. mil is pretty good at saying what she thinks with out thinking first and can make you feel alienated. i feel guilty i think
any thoughts?

don't say anything - just thank them for having dd. They probably don't mean to upset you with their comments. My mum says far worse!

im over sensitive i think. they can say quite mean things. i know they want to see her more but their daughter is 25 and has a 6mnth old and a 3.4 yr old and she always has them doing stuff for her . wheras im 40 only have dd and we go out early most days feeding ducks, waking, visiting local parks and farm country parks. she naps in pm and they are not earl risers, i supply teach so they are always willing to have her early(8am) and im grateful x

it must be annoying if they are always helping SIL but imagine how suffocating that would be! Sounds like you have it just right.
