[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weirdest interaction with my MIL who dropped a child in my lap while I'm eating saying my SO needed to eat. I had told SO to put child on the couch so we could both eat and apparently MIL took child instead then got indignant. I'm taking a break. [/quote]

While I agreed it shouldn’t automatically be mom who gets “the child,” I do have to wonder—how old? How old is “the child” and what did you give “the child” to play with or work on while you and DH were both “taking a break”? Because if you just leave a child unattended, if he or she isn’t old enough to be alone, then you and DH are just making work for other people.[/quote]

Damn, can’t we assume PP isn’t an idiot and the child is an appropriate age to be on the couch for five minutes? Why do people here always have to play devils advocate? MIL sounds ridiculous. [/quote]

No, we can’t assume that, the way that DCUM parents don’t actually parent when they are on vacation. They always dump kids on relatives and assume others will take responsibility for their kids, without asking or saying please and thank you. [/quote]
