[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Geez, what a warped, self-centered view so many of you have.[/b]  The MIL didn't say 'no'.  She offered a solution that allows her to say, 'yes'.  If she didn't want to help, she wouldn't have offered a solution.

The MIL also doesn't owe anyone a reason for why she cannot watch OP's kid in OP's home.  As so many of us are fond of saying, 'it doesn't work' for her.  Just because someone doesn't conform to your expectations or give you what you ask/demand doesn't mean they're making it all about them.

If you're go to solution to needing someone to do pick up a few days a week is to fly someone from across the country to do it, you've got a lot of other problems.  [/quote]

Are we reading the same thread? I am reading a lot of support for the MIL and very little criticism, if any.[/quote]

Really?  From just the first 2 pages posters said the below about the MIL - which is judgemental, self-centered and entitled.  The MIL didn't say no, she offered a solution that OP doesn't like.

[i]Your MIL a doesn’t want to help
It sounds like she doesn’t want to help.
She could definitely be more help but she’s an adult and she doesn’t want to
you have a MIL unwilling to help
It would be nice if she said yes but for whatever reason she doesn't want to.[/i][/quote]
