Argh! So here is my MIL rant...

She calls me yesterday afternoon & says 'I've booked a flight to Tassie for saturday, Are you right to look after BIL for a few weeks'.. So usually i'd say, yep okay no worries, but this is the THIRD time in as many months she's gone ahead & bought tickets to somewhere, THEN asked if we can take him.

Is it just me or do you find a babysitter BEFORE you decide to go interstate for a few weeks? OR take your child with you? OR f'ing stay home & make sure they go to school! (she doesn't want him to go to school while she's away so that's even harder - The girls would have to go & he wouldn't)

Anyway, i just said no, I'm too busy with everything as it is & i just can't handle another one, I'll go even more nuts!

(We are having BIL for THREE whole months soon as it is & he does nothing for himself, He wont even pour himself a glass of water plus he's really annoying, I love him to bits but man he drives me insane!!!)

She says 'Okay, no problem.. I understand'... not even 5 minutes later i get a phone call from DF.. 'can we look after BIL for a few weeks?.. Mum just called & asked me'... I was furious! I said no so she called DF & asked, When i told him that i'd just spoken to her & said no he was furious too - So he called her back & had a go at her for being so childish (it was like when a child asks one parent if they can do something, they say no, so the child goes & asks the other), Last night consisted of a string of teary phone calls from her 'I've already paid for the ticket, There's no one else... blah blah blah' So i say, Okay we'll buy him a ticket & he can go with you - Nope, not good enough, she wants to go out with her friends while she's there... I probably sound really mean but i'm sick of being walked all over, Just the fact that she bought the tickets then asked later screams 'HAYLEY IS A DOORMAT!' I'm over it.. Rant Over.
