Is This Fair Or Sour Grapes?

Dianne: I just think it is silly that she gave the decision to her friend and than took it back.. She is harbouring resentment and I do not think that is healthy. Yes, DSD did make a mistake, it was 3 months ago. I find it hard to believe that it would be without warning that she would drop them off to a 96yo? Why did she do it in the first place? Of course this is grounds to be angry but to be honest the father should be the one to take discplinary action.

I am also a firm believer that kids are kids and need to act accordingly.. I do not think it is fair for them to drop their plans, sports etc to help out i mean every now and then it is okay but not all the time. I believe that looking after a toddler or baby is not a chore like doing the dishes...

I am speaking from experience as my childhood and teenage years was spent looking after my half baby sister and brother. All that was pointed out was the negatives.. etc.. When i read this post it reminded me of my step mother..

It is not fair to say "in 15 years" you can comment.. I have a baby now and i know that he is mine and hubby responsibilty so we would work it out between us. As we have no family around and even if we did it would be when they are free i would never expect them to drop there plans to come look after my son I just don't think that is fair. I have been sick on a number of occasions had to organise DH to come home from work and occasional care.
