Grrrrr.....my parents drive me batty! I won free movie tickets months ago. I've asked my parents several times if they would have the kids for 2 hours so we could use them and they have always said no. They said they'd would just use the tickets. Mind you, they go to the movies once a week anyway!
The tickets expire tomorrow so I practically pleaded for them to watch them for 2 hours this evening as not only do DH and I never do anything together but not can we afford to go to the movies ever and we didn't want to waste the opportunity to use the free tickets. My mum was at the supermarket when I called her and after a 10min "discussion" about why we should get to go she finally reluctantly agreed. However, she said the kids were to be fed before as they aren't feeding my children, they're not to ask for anything and they need to deal with the fact that my parents will be eating dinner in front of them and they're not to complain or ask for any food. She said "I don't have any food for your children, I don't cater for feeding them and I'm not buying anything for them while I'm here at the shops either". She then went on to say how angry my dad will be that they're having them and made me feel so crappy about the whole thing!! I was told were not going early to the movie and we are to leave the minute it finishes.
I don't even feel like going now.
It's so ridiculous!! They live 5mins away and never have them! They wouldn't have the younger kids so we could both go to college open nights, we've missed weddings etc cause they won't have them and we haven't done anything together since our first wedding anniversary. We have no one else and they know that. The only friend I have works early mornings so can't have them as he goes to bed crazy early.
My nan practically raised us, as she was always babysitting me, my brother, my cousins, even all day everyday so mum could work. Dad wouldn't even have DS6 one day a week when he was off work for a year so I could go to uni or work.
The other day mum was at the shops and then was then popping over to drop some papers off that a teacher she works with have her for me (as I used to work for him) and I said can you get me 1kg chicken breast and she said "no, I don't finance feeding your family" It would have cost her $10 and they have so much money it's not funny whereas we can hardly afford bread and milk some weeks!!
Arrggghh....sorry for the vent but they just make me so angry! I just wish we could move so they were out of our lives, but were stuck here because of them too! (Long story)
