I'm back + Sad news NBR + MIL vent

JesseKhloe&Me

I have been without internet for about nine months while we stayed with relatives to save money, I am officially back in commission.

My sad news is my dad was diagnosed with colon cancer last week and it has spread to his liver and it is not treatable My big strong amazing father is losing about 4 lbs a day & will not be with us long. I am mostly sad that my children will not know him when they are older and my mom has been with them since they were 16, he is 54 now & my heart breaks to think of them apart. Prayers for peace & no pain are greatly appreciated. TIA

 On to my MIL who has been watching the kids a little more than she used to while I go help with my dad.. She does things that I ask her not to right in front of me & then acts innocent in front of DH. She was also putting ice cubes in her mouth & chewing them up & spitting smaller pieces out to give to the kids. Ewwwww. Sorry, maybe there father or I, but not her & not the way she was doing it. 

I realize I am a little more cranky lately than usual, but this lady knows how to push buttons & break rules. I wish I had another option on a sitter, but everyone I trust has a lot going on right now. I have cut back on any other outings without the kids though & only use her when I have no other choice.

If you made it this far, the boys are doing great & they are full of energy & so funny & play together very well.

so sorry about your father! my husbands grandmother also had colon cancer =[ i hope he is pain free. will be praying for you and your family!!

I totally understand how MIL's can be! i feel like mine has been on my last nerve ever since i got pregnant with my boys (they are now almost 6 months). we used to have a very good relationship but now i CANT STAND HER! she asked me last week if my DD could come stay with her on friday and i told her no because we had something planned for early saturday morning and we didnt want to have to come get her that early so friday evening she text my husband and asked when we were bringing her over!!!!!  WHAT???  i feel for you lol

I noticed that you've been missing lately. I'm so sorry to hear that it's related to this. I have too many friends and family members who have/are battling cancer. It seems so unfair. I'll be praying for you and your dad.

It's terrible how your MIL is acting. I have issues like that from time to time with my mother. I'm so sorry. It's tough tough tough..

Hang in there.

I am so sorry to hear about your father. Many thoughts and prayers headed your way for you and your family during this difficult time. It is so nice to hear that you are there to help him. I am sure that means the world to him.

 

As for the MIL, I have some of the same issues with mine and my ds. She does stuff that specifically ask her not to and then says that she did it with her kids and they all turned out fine. ugh. She was putting blankets in with my DS as a newborn while also putting him on his stomach. It can be so irritating. I try and pick my battles now and anything that interferes with safety, I call her out on. GL with everything.
