[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Heyyy guys I have an @sshole therefore my own opinion on this :D 
Wow this thread is hot!!

Y'all sound so obviously American and uptight. Parents being "selfish" for wanting time to themselves? The parents didn't do JACK wrong by taking advantage of a chance to get away from the daily grind of family life for a week. Parent or not everyone deserves a break!! Tbh I think a parent deserves it more. We WERK 24/7!!! Don't look down your noses at us because we aren't as self-absorbed as you enough not to have children. Hah.

Some of you thinking of the BIL as being "burdened" by watching his nieces and nephews he chose to come help with?

Have y'all ever heard the saying IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD, or nah??! It does literally require a village to raise a child. It's a communal thing. Helping each other to ease the pressure and stay sane. And the kid gets to bond/socialize with many people. Only here in America are families so isolated.

That concept and **NECESSITY** is completely lost in our "me me me F everyone else" culture. Everywhere else you travel, you'll see family members helping with the kids, always. 
It ain't, "you chose to have them so they're your burden betch!"
It's "our babies are innocent blessings from above and we're here for one another"

I'm Hispanic and noooobody in my family would have an issue watching my son with reasonable accommodations. I'm close to many cousins because we spent a lot of funnnn times together at somebody's house, as children.

That child-less MIL was the one beefing HARD. She doesn't love the grandkids because they aren't her blood, plain and simple. She minded very much that them d*mned kids came and took over her home. She will never have the love and patience a blood relative will. She was selfish enough not to ruin her life with kids remember? What makes you think she'll be maternal enough for step grandkids? Boo hoo she chose to marry a dude with descendants.

I agree with the poster who said the source of anger and resentment is the MIL. All those accidents and arrangements to clean it up usually would be agreed on with understanding. But nope, she is loaded & annoyed. And FIL is doing what a husband does and is supporting her. He can't feel good about this.

Aanndd for you tight wads ready to attack my word usage and grammar...this is DC shawty.[/quote]

it's kids like you that make me avoid my high ESL/FARMS rate local public school....[/quote]
