I love my mother in law to death.. she is great with us and she helps us a lot.. however she gets me irritated when she talks to DS on the phone and then tells him to come over later... I'm sorry but it is not in my plans for the day to take him there and I won't let her drive with him in her little car...I asked her to please not tell him that because we have a lot to do today and while he naps today I am too.. I am freaking prego and TIRED and then we both need to shower... by that time MH may be home and DS has not had good quality time with him because he has worked 7 days in a row..
Oh and she is coming here tomorrow anyway for Mother's day...DS does like to go there and watch the birds in her bird feeder.. maybe if she said come over for dinner later that would be acceptable since that would be something i then dont have to worry about..but she didn''t.. ok vent over..
Re: Grrr..MIL vent
I'd be annoyed too. MIL has done this to us before-well DH plays into it too. Like on a holiday when we've been out all day-and DS is tired we still have to stop over THAT day-even if we are going to see them the next day. So then DS is cranky and she rushes us out and says "Oh, if he's tired you should get him home" UGH. We would have if you didn't make DH feel guilty if we didn't stop over.
