MIL finally gets to babysit grandchild and overnight like she has been asking for, for over 2 years. She only wanted one child so she choose the baby. At pickup she told me she put him in his carseat to sleep. Told her not to do that. I even told her sorry my apologies I should have reminded you. Now she sends me a message she doesn't want to watch them again.

Like I get to say don't put my kid in danger. I did it politely and kindly. She has been begging for this chance. Now she is breaking her only kids heart (husband) because she is in a power play. No one can tell her anything. Well guess what, I don't care if you never again watch them and it was a once in a lifetime chance you don't hurt me. You hurt by your passive aggressive behavior and stomping around throwing fits is the grandkids and your son.

To send me a text 4 days later and tell me you won't watch them. Hmmmk well I'm not begging you never have never will. It's fine though you are their only capable grandparents as my dad is passed on and mom is paralyzed. The kids will be growing up knowing you could spend time with them you just won't. It doesn't hurt me it hurts them.

I am so sick of this behavior where you throw fits at everything and expectations is your way or no way. You wouldn't even come to the eldest birthday. You won't celebrate holidays now with us. You legit make no effort but then beg to see them. You won't come into our home. It's exhausting and I'm not your enemy.

You are literally standing in your own way and hurting yourself. Your son doesn't see your view and doesn't agree. All he knows is his time with his parents is dwindling as you age and your wasting your time away with him.
