how ***** is this:

my MIL won't mind JJ on friday so i can go to the funeral because....

she has a DENTIST appointment???

should my friend have died at a more 'convenient' time? or am i over-reacting?

oh, her solution was to send FIL, 72-year-old, frail diabetic ex-doctor who has held jj once and visited him 3 times... sound good for a baby at stranger-anxiety age?

forgive me for being ratty but that reaaaally makes me want to book my flight to melbourne NOW

dh is VERY upset and is contemplating telling her today that we're leaving, he said this was the last straw for him.
