I’m a stay at home mommy to a 2 year old and I’m due July 31st (although I won’t make it to the due date or so my OB thinks). Along with my fiancé, we stay at my parents house until we can move out. We had a good amount of money saved but then our car had flats (2) and my man had to pay court fees to help us be able to move out ... which didn’t end up helping us at all because courts are closed 🙃

Anyways , this is going to sound selfish but I just need to vent. My mom and dad watch my 8 year old niece about 4 days a week after her daycare lets out (from about 4pm - 8:30pm when my sister comes to pick her up). Now I love my niece but she DOES NOT LISTEN! She has absolutely no sense of boundaries when it comes to my 2 year old. Everyone thought she was super clingy and bossy at first because “it’s a new baby” but 2 years later and we still have the same problem. She pulls her down when my daughter is playing, she picks her up when she’s not allowed to, she literally will tell her to FETCH. And she’s a smart girl, she knows when she can’t do something and will straight out do it while looking at you to make sure your not watching and if you are, then she’ll stop.

On top of coming 4 days a week, she spends every other weekend here. (Friday-Sunday)

There’s nothing I can do or say because my parents agree to watch her, even though they don’t do anything with her. They leave her to play with my daughter and then I end up watching them because only god knows what’ll happen if nobody watches them.

I’m just sad that I won’t have the peace of being able to bring my baby home and get used to being a mother of two on my own time. Instead, I’ll be babysitting my niece and there won’t be anything I can do about it. We had enough money saved to move out but things happen, and now we have to wait until August. 🙁 I’m just stressed I guess because I know what’s coming.

Sorry for the long post
