re: Trashy Brother in law troubles

And if she thinks she can and he doesn't feel comfortable, he needs to find a real daycare.

I mean it doesn't sound that great to say I'll let you retire early to watch our kid for next to nothing but you're gonna do it our way.

This sounds like it’s yiur first kid. Infants are far tougher than we give them credit for and I’m sure your MIL can handle an infant and toddler.


Your BIL is being childish and that’s squarely on him.

Trashy level is low IMO.

You're BIL needs to grow up and work out his schedule to allow him to play his shitbox at times that don't interfere with family dealings.

The text you sent him should have just been to clarify which sonic you’d be meeting him at.



Your BIL sounds like a POS.

You brought this to the right place.

Any random baw, this would be the response, but this is a person I will have to see frequently throughout the year. I am trying to be diplomatic, however my patience is already worn thin. At this point it’s going to be merciless public ridicule, accompanied by whatever level of violence he lets it escalate to. Frankly if he did anything other than stare at the floor I’d be surprised.

Congrats to you and the Mrs on the first child. It is an awesome experience

You are being a pretentious ahole saying your MIL can only watch one kid. You realize that your MIL handle 2 kids already with your SIL and your wife right? You are right, its a lot of work and they keep you busy. But dangerous? That's ridiculous.

You basically just told your BIL that his kid is trashy and too hard for someone to watch with another kid around.

Daycares have 4 infants per employee FWIW.

I'm assuming you and the wife will want more kids in the near future who's going to watch your toddler while MIL is watching the next baby in 2years?

Damn, I’m getting lots of pretentious. Are you guys copying one another or is it really that “pretentious”?

I guess we are having a first time parent approach to the situation, which makes sense given that we are first time parents.

Well, it’s too late at this point. If plug BIL had spoken to me like a man we might have worked this out and I could have possibly accepted that I was overreacting about the two children. Now if we cave, I’m rewarding his temper tantrum. Nope, line has been drawn, and I owe him a chat about proper channels for filing his complaints, possibly accompanied by an arse kicking depending on how he takes it.
