I risk sounding like such a horrible person but I need to say something before I boil over. I’m not against helping, but there’s a limit.

I’m beyond annoyed. Keep in mind I’m 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 “friends”. I haven’t seen her in those two years. Her mother dropped her off to me at 8am and was supposed to be back at 12pm. She didn’t 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 fiancé (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 didn’t 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 “I don’t want that!”. 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, we’re 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 I’m left in the living room to watch the girl (4), and my nephews (6 & 1) because somebody has too! And I don’t want these kids breaking my couch like they broke the last one. Now the kids decide they want to go into my baby’s room (still unfinished), and fight over my WHITE Sherpa rocking chair. I don’t 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 I’m going to be pissed! Then my nephew says that grandma is the one who told him to go play in my room 🤨 I’m just soo.. EVERYTHING. Im regretting setting up the chair, im angry that I did not sign up to watch additional children but that’s what happening anyway in order to protect my stuff, im upset that my “break” from work hasn’t felt like a break, im mad that this little girls mother is just pawning her daughter on everybody and they’re allowing it. It’s just too much!

And the mother doesn’t 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 mother’s hair for free, even though the mother claims to be away because she’s working Uber. Then the mother walks around saying she couldn’t afford any presents this year but goes around telling me, and everyone else, that she wants some “bombshell” VS set since we’re going to the mall. Like girl.. your daughter is here calling us mommy and daddy, all confused, and you’re worried about some bombshell perfume?
