I risk sounding like a b*tch but I CANNOT š¤
I risk sounding like such a horrible person but I need to say something before I boil over. Iām not against helping, but thereās a limit.
Iām beyond annoyed. Keep in mind Iām 32 weeks pregnant. The day before Christmas <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.eve">Eve</a>, I got a call from my SIL asking if I could watch a child for a few hours. I met the child two years ago when she spent Christmas with us upstate because the mother and my SIL are āfriendsā. I havenāt seen her in those two years. Her mother dropped her off to me at 8am and was supposed to be back at 12pm. She didnāt come pick her up until 7pm. She then asked my SIL if the little girl could spend Christmas with us again. So on Christmas <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.eve">Eve</a>- the next day- my SIL made me & my fiancĆ© (her brother) drive the girl upstate to her house where we all gather for holidays. I spent the whole Christmas break hearing my SILs kids arguing and fighting with the little girl over toys and everything else. I already work with children so this didnāt feel like a break to me it felt like a God damn daycare center. The little girl opened her Christmas gift and ran away crying saying āI donāt want that!ā. And my BIL told me to buy the little girl some new clothes since she outgrew what her mother sent her with like ..? Sorry but how is this my responsibility? YOUR WIFE chose to host her. Now, weāre back home with my MIL. And the little girl is STILL with us. PLUS the nephews. My MIL agreed to babysit her for another week (mind you, all of this is for FREE) but the mother woke ME out of my sleep at 8am to receive the girl at the door even though my MIL was awake. Then my MIL stays in her room the whole morning and Iām left in the living room to watch the girl (4), and my nephews (6 & 1) because somebody has too! And I donāt want these kids breaking my couch like they broke the last one. Now the kids decide they want to go into my babyās room (still unfinished), and fight over my WHITE Sherpa rocking chair. I donāt want any child to mess up my chair before I even have a chance to use it, before I even have a chance to finish the room because Iām going to be pissed! Then my nephew says that grandma is the one who told him to go play in my room š¤Ø Iām just soo.. EVERYTHING. Im regretting setting up the chair, im angry that I did not sign up to watch additional children but thatās what happening anyway in order to protect my stuff, im upset that my ābreakā from work hasnāt felt like a break, im mad that this little girls mother is just pawning her daughter on everybody and theyāre allowing it. Itās just too much!
And the mother doesnāt appreciate anything. She told her daughter to stick to us at the mall because we have money. She said that in front of everyone. My SIL braided the little girls hair and the mother said that my SIL is ganna have to do it over (again, for free) before she goes back to school. My SIL even braided the motherās hair for free, even though the mother claims to be away because sheās working Uber. Then the mother walks around saying she couldnāt afford any presents this year but goes around telling me, and everyone else, that she wants some ābombshellā VS set since weāre going to the mall. Like girl.. your daughter is here calling us mommy and daddy, all confused, and youāre worried about some bombshell perfume?
