My DH is IRRITATING ME!
My husband is irritating the crap out of me today. He tells his daughter that we'll watch her son last night, through the night, and still going on right now. That's all fine and well -- but he expects me to do the "work" and take care of this child. I do enjoy having him over, but I feel like he is my DH's responsibility if he wants to have him over.
He didn't put grandson to bed last night until well after 11 pm -- I kept saying "don't you think you should put him to bed?" Finally, DH is starting to fall asleep on the couch, and grandson is still up. "If it bothers you so much, you put him to bed." Whatever.
So when grandson is telling DH that he's hungry, DH looks at me -- so I said "you better feed him, he's telling you he's hungry." Grudgingly he goes over to make him breakfast. Good grief. If you don't want the responsibility of taking care of him, DON'T INVITE HIM OVER!
Thanks for listening!

Time for that hair appointment you forgot }:)
Agreed everyone! He does
Agreed everyone! He does this all the time. He'll tell me grandson is coming over, or his kids are coming over -- doesn't ask if it's a good time for me or not. I've even asked him why he even asks me when I don't really have a say either way. Oh well.
He took his grandson home and his daughter (who is currently preggers) asked him if I would be interested in watching her son and new baby once she goes back to work after maternity leave (January-ish) two days a week -- supposedly says she'll pay me. I doubt that. Says she doesn't want the kids in daycare. Thankfully DH said "let's wait and see what happens in January". I told him I wasn't sure. The problem is that if I tell her no at all when she asks me to babysit, she gets pissed at me. I prefer to have as little contact with her as possible.
I have tried for years to have a relationship of some kind with all four of his kids, but the last year and a half, I started disengaging and it has been a beautiful thing for me!
Well theres your answer, you
Well theres your answer, you just need to explain to DH and to her that you enjoy seeing the children but no you cannot commit to having them twice a week regularly when she goes back to work.
Chances are she wont mind, it may well be her prefernce that they dont go to daycare, but you know? This whole being a parent thing means that it falls on you to arrange childcare, you can always ask your parents but they can always say no and when they do you make other plans.
It already annoys you when your hubby has one over now and leaves you to do it all, I think youd be pretty mad to agree to have him and baby twice a week.
If she wasn't such an
If she wasn't such an ungrateful brat I would be glad to watch both kids, but she is AWFUL -- no matter what I do. She IS nice to me when she wants something, otherwise, she could care less about anything personal about me at all.
At this point, I don't think it will work out -- I've thankfully been able to get back to work so I'm not available. Phew!
