My MIL keeps Tyler during the day and we pay her very good money to keep him.
So she was going to join us on our school field trip along with Tyler to the zoo tomorrow and she decided that he was too clingy to me(duh, I am his mom) and she did not want to spend the gas money to meet us there.
Keep in mind that I work at very laid back private school and my boss is going and is totally fine with me holding Tyler when he wants me to plus we have 11 kids going and 6 chaperones.
She also is complaining about paying for gas to get her there. Hello....we are paying you very well and part of the deal is that I wanted her to expose him to different things besides just the store!!
Ugg...vent over!
Re: MIL vent!
I did offer to pay gas and to buy her lunch but then she came up with more excuses!
We are paying her a 1,000 a month so I think gas money should not be an issue.
$1000 a month is very inexpensive for 1 on 1 child care. A nanny would cost at least double that. Maybe you need to sit down and talk about your agreement. If she's not willing to do the things you want her to do with your child it may be time to look at other options.
YAY, DH!!!
