[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So to clarify, it's not the 8 hours of childcare I have an issue with. It's the TWENTY FOUR hour childcare I have an issue with.  SIL flew in, napped until it was time for her to work, and after her work hours didn't care to help my mom with any of the housework, AND my mom put nephew to bed.  [/quote]

You're not making this any better.  You're still being selfish and a bad in-law.  If I were in her shoes, I would not visit when you were there.  You really can't see how catty and bitchy you're being, can you?  You've worn out your mother for a week, SIL comes in for one day based on the promise that grandma would look after her grandchild, but you've already exhausted her and are now trying to blame this on your SIL?  Amazing.

Sorry, dear, but I don't understand why it is so hard for you to pitch in and help your mother care for two grandchildren for a day or two.  And lest you think I have no understanding of what you're going through, I have twins that have been through both stages of those children.  I cared for two infants and for two toddlers by myself.  I can't believe that two of you can't care for two children without complaining about your exhausted SIL.  I know several mothers of 3 and 4 children who do what you had to do today, every day, by themselves without complaining as much as you did.  Give her a break.  You've had help for a week and you can't pay it forward and help out your nephew for a day?  Unbelievable.[/quote]
