Mother in law question
Posted on 6/7/14 at 3:20 pm

Mine graces us with her majestic presence a few times a year. We have young kids who still take naps during the day. During nap time we usually have to keep quite and sometimes lay down with them. Every time she comes, she immediately takes my wife's car during nap time and comes back two hours later making all sorts if noise and wakes the kids up. Shouldn't she be willing to stay around and help with the kids and house work since we could use some help and only see her a few times a tear?
Do I have a reason to be angry?

Tell her to STFU or deal with the cranky kids that she woke up. It's your house

2 hour nap sounds long enough. She probably wakes them up on purpose so she can visit with them.
Just try to be nice.

Not really interested in the visiting part. She is more interested in planning her next meal. I am not joking, my oldest spilled something and she waited for me to pick it up

Put a padlock on the fridge and pantry and walk around with your nuts out, she will leave before dinner

You sound whiny

You come put up with her. Don't forget some diet dr pepper she is almost out.

I definitely wouldn't expect her to help with the house work. I also wouldn't expect her to do any work with the kids except try to visit with them. That's sort of the advantage of being a grandparent vs being a parent. You get to be around for the good parts without dealing with the work. It would probably be nice to have some extra help, but I wouldn't have the expectation.

I don't expect help, but it would be nice to offer. Especially from someone who barely sees her grand kids and has never worked a day in her life.

Sounds like you are holding on to a lot of resentment.

Yeah, if I was in her position, I would help, but that's just me. I guess I'm just saying that I wouldn't be upset by it. It's just kind of a whatever and shrug my shoulders moment. It's kind of inconsiderate but frick it.
Yeah, at this point she is probably never going to change.
The question you asked was essentially whether or not you should expect help. At least that's how I interpretted it.

Most would but she paid her dues with your wife and your wife's siblings if she had any. I wouldn't expect her to help with chores. But keeping somewhat quiet, yes.

What can you do? Suck it up and get through.

You nailed it. Maybe I'll go drink a few beers and take the cj for a spin when she makes her grand arrival.

OH.....she hasn't arrived yet? Start drinking now.
