Yeah, you need good church friends that will step up and take your kids for a weekend so you can get away for a couple of days. My mom gave me a talk when I was 17, just to let me know that when I had kids, they were my problem and not hers. She expounded on how she raised her kids and I could bring my future children over for a visit but take them with me when I left. She never helped my older sister with her children either. I had my son when I was 27 years old and my daughter when I was 31. You have a selfish screwy MIL, I had a selfish screwy mother. Rant all you want to, I totally get it.

There is a BIG difference between dropping the kids off every day or every weekend for free daycare and the occasional overnight or weekend visit. Sounds like "Mom" didn't care too much for children.

haha, my mom didn't like us, me, my brother or my sister. She openly disliked my older sister and sent her to "the aunts" in Louisiana the day after school was out, every summer. My brother she tolerated, me she ignored. She finally decided she liked my daughter, the youngest of her 5 grandchildren. I guess she figured it was her last Hurrah.

Oh, so don't give ME the grandkids even for an hour but ship your own kids off to relatives for the entire summer? Nice 
I hope summer in Louisiana was a good time and looked forward to each year!

Talked to MIL tonight.., not sure the conversation she had with her son....aka my husband. But she was upset, why because she couldn't get Friday off.... to help more.,, 
in any case kids get to stay with friends Friday night, then Grandma will pick them up Saturday morning. My husband the NAYSAYER.....
thanks for the encouraging words and support. I am sincerely looking forward to my weekend in the woods without electronics or too many people (and critters) to take care of...
here's to another 16 years! If I don't shoot him with the gun he bought me!

I have bought my wife many things over the last 2 decades...a firearm is not among them. I love her awful and she truly is the love of a thousand lifetimes, but temptation is such a strong force...........

Yes, my sister looked forward to getting away every summer. My mom cheated herself of so much.... not to mention us. My brother wanted a real mom all his life that would bake him cookies and give him hugs. He died never know what that would have been like. I was a Daddy's girl, so it didn't impact me so much. We all left home at an early age, brother and sister at 18, me at 17.Oh, so don't give ME the grandkids even for an hour but ship your own kids off to relatives for the entire summer? Nice
I have always strived to make sure that my kids knew they were treasured and loved, no matter what. We moved to be close to our grand daughters and we are keeping all 3 this weekend to give their parents a weekend off. They are ages 1,2 and 10. The 10 year old is bringing a friend.
