No, it's a legitimate concern to me that you want this woman to babysit your child for free and then tell us how morally deficient you think she is. You can't have it both ways.
My take? You're pissed off that she doesn't want to provide free child care for your son and are using him to punish her. When you got called on it, you started making up/exaggerating details so we would agree with you. We don't. End of story.
You are soooooooo right! I need FREE childcare make 100k+ a year. It's not the fact that she spends time with all her other grandchildren and foster kids while watching them. READ ORIGINAL POST!
1 hour of sitting with my son to spend time( since she complains about having no time) barely constitutes a full time baby sitting gig. I work from home Investment Banking so I don't have time to run over to her house so that she can visit...that's bullshit, like your ten cent assessment.
So, I understand, your life is so dissatisfying that you need to continuously argue with someone about their life to make you feel better about your own situation...I get it. And frankly, I would be WORRIED if you did agree with me. Would mean I have the emotional IQ of a 15yr old.
Tell ya what. Don't like what I have to say or me for that matter, get the hell out of my post or start your own on what a horrible *** I am or better yet, tell of how horrible I am at your next mobile home mamas convention or where ever people like you crawl out from. You voiced your trivial, troglodyte opinion ( go ahead, take a minute to sound that one out and look it up) but now, just move on.
You are coming off as extremely desperate to take out whatever is going on in your own situation on me.
Honestly, THAT is FAR more messed up than my original post or MIL issue. Even she knows when to leave well enough alone. THANK GOD YOU DON'T AGREE WITH ME!!!!!! Means I'm doing something right and I should thank you! It validates why I shouldn't let my child be around morons of your( and MILs) caliber.
Her bubble is on. I'm surprised she hasn't made any more witty comebacks.
Oh, right, that would require being witty. Oopsie.

WOW. You really have been on here all night. Guess that proved me wrong about the 'no life, you people need to get a life' thing. Makes my day that you've wasted so much of your time being silly, stereotypical catty women on here. Yeah, that showed me! that's time you'll never get back! Lol

100k a year as an investment banker?? Girl what are you doing wrong?! As someone working in finance you should make a CRAP ton more than that. I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

That's okay, I don't really want that time back. Its been fun. Lets do it again sometime. Like, say, the next time you open your mouth with the stoopid again.

I am a little sad you spent time away from your kid spoutng off nonsense like you did. Sorry, too, you didnt get the "opinions" you were looking for here. Too bad the fact you're a complete nutjob got in the way of that. I advise a trip to a counselor and then e pharmacy where I am pretty sure you will get a scrip for some Xanax for that a$$hole attitude of yours.
Has anybody posted the obligatory "I feel bad for your husband" response? I only skimmed but seriously, OP, what does your husband have to say about all this resentment you have towards his mother?

I want to put money on the idea that her H actually gave his mom the check book so she could get some things she needed...like maybe she needed a new hot water heater or washer dryer and couldn't afford get it on her own, hell a down payment on a mini van to drive those 10 kids she takes care of around. And when crazy B fummed he couldn't set her straight.
DH can't stop LHAO at the few "totally wacko, off track, bullshit" arguments coming from some of the well, I'll be kind and say ladies-even though he has another word for it.
He wants to know if you "ladies" met his mother in small claims court or if the argumentative ones on here are just as fucked up as she is???? LOL
It's about free babysitting. ROTFLMFAO!!!! ahhh! I needed a good laugh today. Thanks.
Sounds like you two are perfect for each other. Congrats.

Your MIL probably would love to have something to do with her grandson but doesn't want anything to do with you. I wouldn't want to deal with you if you were my DIL.
You're contradicting yourself by saying you want her to see your son, but don't want her to babysit, but want her to spend an hour with him, but don't want her over.
You need to sit down and decide what you want. Do you want to let her have a relationship with your son or not? You can't b!tch about her not being a "baby person" but then turn around and b!tch about her wanting to see him. Just because she's not a baby person, doesn't mean that she doesn't want to see him..at least that's how I see it....she wants to see him, not hang out for an hour alone with him.
She probably doesn't want an hour alone with him because she's probably scared that she will do/say the littlest wrong thing and you will go all BSC on her.

You know what OP? I have a FIL who admits he's not a baby person and spends a lot of time with the children of his step children. And DH and I are cool with it. We respect that he's closer to those kids than to DS. We don't expect him to babysit DS, but he still wants to see DS more. Just because someone says they "don't do babies" doesn't mean they don't ever want to see them. I respect that it's my child to take care of and that while visiting FIL I can't expect him to change diapers or do much more than hold him for a couple minutes.
Also, insulting people you ask opinions from is ignorant and asking for flaming. What could have been a discussion about grandparents sharing the love with adopted/foster children degenerated into a back and forth insulting match that the bump loves to watch. If that was your intention, you did a great job. You've given us a funny thread to watch for a few days.
I couldn't get past the first two pages, but this was epic.
OP, care.com is a great resource for baby-sitters. I realize this is more of a principle-based thing for you, but if you ever really NEED a baby-sitter rather than boiling up inside that your MIL sucks, try it... a lot of people swear by it.
Also, unless your MIL is an absolute witch to your child, put your feelings aside and try to be the bigger person and make the effort so your son has a relationship w/ his grandma. I have to swallow my pride and do this myself so I know it sucks.
There's a difference between seeing the baby and babysitting him. Take him for a visit, and just hang out over there. I don't understand your confusion.
There's no confusion. My point is that if she isn't going to be an active member in his life (living 5 minutes away) then she is not entitled to ANY time with him. She hasn't earned it, obviously isn't too pressed about it if she won't even watch him for an hour and at this point for me to take time out to nice and bring him for visits is far more courteous than what she's shown me. I can't stand the sight of her at this point and I'll be damned if I'm gonna sit there(spending my time) and have her pull the "ahh...my baby" bullshit.She's a disgrace of a grandmother to openly take in and care for all these foster kids and has done literally NOTHING for her only biological grandchild. I mean, who does that????
Think I will go with the advice given "call him on his 10th birthday since you don't "do" babies. "
Yeah, what a beyotch. I mean, those foster children should be treated as second class to your precious angel. Pshh.
Biological grandchild. Husband sister is adopted. READ the words before you assume. And I am angry about this. This is the ONLY grandmother he has. My parents are deceased. I live in a state where I have NO FAMILY, NO SITTERS and I have to deal with this *** MIL. Judge me if you will, but I find the situation all kinds of fucked up!
Nevermind, I am upping my ante...you are not a moron, you are a thundercunt.

OP, in your case, I would suggest inserting the following words in place of "an adult": "rich", "classy", "educated".
