[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry but you need to be grateful!

Your MIL wants to babysit. You have someone who loves your child that is willing to take your child for 3 short hours so you can reconnect with your DH. Do you know how many of us would LOVE that? I don't love my ILs either, but you know how thrilled I would be if they lived closer so I can drop off my child with them and go one a date with my DH. She isn't asking you to hang out with her. I don't see what the big deal about 3 hours is. Your kid is going to spend time with someone that loves them, and you get a night out.

Do you realize how much it sucks to not have any family in town to help you out???? Let's just say it sucks!

If you don't want to spend time your DH, then that's one thing, but if you do, suck it up! [/quote]

The fact that it sucks not to have your IL's around here doesn't make her MIL safe to take care of a child alone.  OP doesn't suffer from ingratitude (necessarily); if her MIL truly is senile and stubborn, she cannot take care of a child alone.[/quote]
