[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, wait. I was under the impression that SIL's kids came over frequently. If this is only the second time in 5 years that they have asked you to babysit then that may be different. Do they need to do something important? Are you overreacting? Do you often overreact and husband is embarrassed about your behavior towards his family?[/quote]

They are going to a fundraiser which in SIL's words is "not that big of deal". She also said she could go solo and her husband would watch the kids at their own house. Every indication tells me it's no more important than a needed date night with my husband. We have watched their kids several times at their house but usually the in laws watch their kids (they take at least 2 trips internationally a year without the kids and many many other trips domestically).

I do not believe I am over reacting. H has time and again showed me that his birth family comes first - at the expense of me. My issue here is not watching their kids - we've done it before and will do it again. My issue is that our planned date night was so easily discarded as soon as word came from SIL that they wanted us to watch their kids. Well, my issue is also with the email.[/quote]
