[quote=Anonymous]Has it occurred to you that your mom never gets to see her grandson on the west coast and therefore she WANTS to watch him and put him to bed, despite the fact that it tires her out?

You've had a lot of complaints about your SIL, but you've never said that your mom is complaining or upset about how this is playing out.  If she isn't upset, then you shouldn't be.  And if she is upset, its her responsibility to talk to the SIL, not yours.

Finally, what are you doing to help your mom?  You have been ranting and raving about how your SIL has exhausted your mother, but you haven't explained what you are doing to help lighten the load on your mother.  And please don't say its not your responsibility to watch your nephew or fix SIL's mess -- if you are so concerned about your mother, you should help her regardless.  And yes, you have a 10 week old, but 10 week olds do sleep and they can be put down to sit in their bouncy chair or lie in a pack n play while you give your mom at least a little break.[/quote]
