OH MIL!!! >:(

in January 2012 Moms

She has complained to my SIL how we never have her watch DD. ( her and FIL complain to us how they always have to watch SILs toddler...)

But a) we don't really need a babysitter that often b)DD screams every time MIL comes near and C ) the three times we've asked her to watch DD for 2-3hrs it has worked out only once and it was this big FN deal! We just asked her to watch DD this past Sunday and she said "I suppose I could" , then she called in the morning and said she couldn't do it until PM because she needs to mop her floors and it couldn't wait anymore Hmm. So we switched things around for the afternoon. Finally at 5.30 she called and said she couldnt come at all as it was now getting too late.

Now I just got an email from her saying I could assist with the babysitting for the rest of the week except Friday and the weekend.

I don't even know where to begin and how to explain how and on how many levels this is beyond annoying and irritating.

K, there, I had to let that out.

OH and AGAIN, after me politely telling her twice now already, then we don't need used, stained BOY things for our DD she dropped off my nephew's used socks off. She said "well I have some more boy stuff for Z" and laughed.

I wanted to punch her. WTF!

    It sounds like whatever you do she will never be happy, so try not to worry about her and just make yourself happy.

    Yeah I really don't care what she thinks and I don't want her watching DD that much anyway.

    But my husband kind of feels bad and he doesn't get the point!

    I already see an issue when my mom starts watching DD. Then they'll complain how she's with my mom all the time and never with them. Ugh!

    But you are right, whatever you do it's not right, so I'm not trying. It's not about them anyway it's just so Fn annoying having to deal with it...

    I don't blame you for being mad. I found that once I stopped worrying about pissing off my MIL I was much happier :)

    I wouldn't worry about her getting mad because like pp said, she'll never be happy no matter what you do. And if she has the nerve to give you a hard time about not letting her babysit I would just simply say that you need someone reliable and not someone who will cancel last minute because she had to wash her floors or because it got too late. Good Luck!
