[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why wouldn’t you just put your IL’s in a taxi and you and Larla ride the public bus?

How is dragging someone who is out of shape and with swollen feet making this a trip for them?

And then you’re upset because they want to be able to sit and watch TV and likely put their feet up when they are babysitting your kid? They don’t want to be up chasing her around and having to entertain her after a full day of walking. [/quote]

They refuse to pay for a cab. We’ve suggested it many times. The TV thing wasn’t an issue. It was “make sure I have my shows. It’s buffering!!”
This was after DH spent an hour setting up a proxy server so they could watch live American TV on his laptop.

We didn’t expect them to chase her. We put her down before we left so all they had to do is sit in the room and watch TV. [/quote]

If they would be less exhausted thus less grumpy, I would just pay for the taxi. It would improve my mood too.

Geez, don’t be so cheap. [/quote]
