SIL Vent. Long-ish!
This morning I log into Facebook and the very first thing on my feed is a post from one of my SIL complaining about her mom, my MIL. Basically MIL told the kids (two girls and a boy of this SIL) she would take them to park, came home from work and told them another day. (She also worked late yesterrday when this all happened. I don't blame the poor women for saying not another day. She has a very physically demanding job and the kids are all under five. She would have taken them all by herself!) SIL was really tee-ed off about it. Not sure why but it just irritated me to no end.
This is the same SIL, if you can remember wayyyy back to last year, that lives with my MIL and SIL even though she's over 30, married and has 3 kids. She totally takes advantage of my MIL and FIL which is bull. My MIL does everything for her( cooks her family's meals, does their laundry, watches the kids whenever SIL just takes off) and doesn't expect anything in return. No rent, no help with the food bill, nothing. Pretty sure that if T and I who are only 20 years old can handle living on our own they can. They have better paying jobs they we do. But, they racked up the credit card debit and this BIL is lazy lazy lazy, always calling into work and looking for excuses to come home earlier. UGH!
. A couple weeks ago SIL threw a huge temper trantrum because MIL and FIL wouldn't watch their kids. She claimed that they weren't coming over for Christmas and they wouldn't see their grandkids. MIL seemed to put her foot down and told her to get out and not come back. But low and behold she's still there! MIL shakes it off saying that SIL has bi-polar and that's just part of her personality. That all may be true, but still. You have to draw the line somewhere, I think.
I completely understand that sometimes your parents or in laws can get annoying or make you upset. But I would never bash them over the internet. All three sets of my parents have done so much for me and T. I also understand that my SIL is my MIL kid and she'll always want to help her and be there for her. But, I think there comes a point where she needs to tell that she needs to grow up and figure some things out for herself. Maybe I'm just a bit too harsh and don't understand. Heck, maybe I'm jealous cause she gets to live rent free and have someone do her laundry.
Well it's my business to say anything and I won't. I'd rather keep the family peace and starting Facebook drama is immature and annoying. But, I just needed to let off steam.
Anyone else? I'm all ears!
Re: SIL Vent. Long-ish!
Just needed to vent really.
We've been there too. We had no home to live in when we first got married because of T's car catching on fire. I totally understand things happen beyond your control and sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I just feel like SIL is taking it way too far.
