🚨 SIL Rant 🚨
Excuse me while I rant.
We (me, my husband and 6 almost 7 month old daughter) recently went to the beach with my parents. The family has a place there, but it’s small. It’s a 2 bed/2bath and a sunroom with a pullout couch.
Well we were there 2 days and my brother, sister in law and their almost 5 month old baby boy decided to come for the second half of our trip. It’s whatever I guess they have a right to come to the family beach house too, even though we had had the trip planned.
So when they get there they take the bedroom from my parents so they’re forced to sleep on a pull out couch. They’re 60 and deserve a vacation too. Like really? Her reason was, “oh I have an alarm set at 3 am and have to pump so I need privacy.”
Okay well they put a pack n play in the doorway of the sunroom so when their child wakes up, my mom gets him. He sleeps all through the night until 7 am but still my mom shouldn’t have to get up with him every morning.
Our child was having a time at the beach with sleep and I was up one particular morning from 4:45 am on...
I quietly went in the kitchen at 7 to warm my daughters bottle and my sister in law is using my bottle warmer. When I looked at her she was just like, “oh I’ll be done soon.” So I had to go back to our room and just wait.
When she was done she handed the bottle to my mom to feed her son and she went back to bed and slept many more hours.
The true rant here is: They slept in every single morning. Leaving my mom to get their baby when he cried and feed him. Leaving my husband to hold their baby and tend to him too when we have our own child who was barely sleeping at night. They took so many naps daily. And if my parents left on the golf cart they left their child in the pack n play to nap and if he cried, he would continue to cry and they never popped their heads out of their room once to check on him laying there by himself. I don’t know...I just don’t get it.
Sorry if you actually read all of that! Rant over.
**edit... don’t even ask who did the cooking, dishes and laundry for the week**
