So mil rang my partner today wanting to meet us in the cafe as we was going into town to do a bit of shopping and go for breakfast. My partner said no as the cafe that we go to is tiny and it would’ve been a nightmare trying to get our little boy in with his stroller, her 1 year old and stroller and her 4 year old it would’ve just been chaos. She then starts getting all attuidey with my partner and crying down the phone oh well when am I going to see you then I haven’t seen you in ages blah blah blah. My partner has just done a week of 12 hour night shifts and today was the first day we actually went anywhere. We need to sort our house out as we’ve got an inspection to make sure that there’s nothing that needs doing and so on. But she doesn’t understand that we have our own life and we have things to do I just don’t get why she needs to get funny and cry down the phone. She was supposed to meet up with me last week but was ill so didn’t but yet was round her mates house that same day? But then moans that she doesn’t get to see her grandchild. Sorry but in my eyes if you was really that “ill” you wouldn’t be sat round your mates house making them all ill🥱

My in-laws are a lot like this. They gripe and moan about not getting to see our daughter enough...but unless they get to see her on THEIR terms (which usually involves us coming over to their house, they don't ever wanna drive to ours or meet up anywhere), they're not interested. It drives me absolutely crazy. 🙃
I would love to go to my in laws because that way I can then chose when to leave where as my partner hates it round there because of the fact that even tho they have young children it’s not child proof. Where as mil always wants to come round here and over stays her welcome consistently and her children destroy my sons toys and then mil tries telling my boy off for not sharing like hello you are in his home they are his toys and he’s an only child he doesn’t understand the whole sharing stuff yet
She’s 40. I do just continue with my day but then it’s just one of those cause I then have my partner in my ear like oh I feel bad she’s lonely like hello not our problem how can she be lonely when she’s got 2 children she’s always out at her mates house or there round hers? Make it make sense😫🤣
