On Halloween, I had a gathering instead of trick or treat and they all came. She sat with the baby in a car seat, never talking to me or anyone for that matter. When I went to see my youngest gs she abruptly covered him with a blanket and would not let me near him. I was so hurt but did not want to make a seen in front of my guests. I never heard from them since that night even after they new I had fallen down steps and twisted my ankle and pulled my right hip out. On Tuesday I was to watch the boys and decided that I was tired of being used and disrespected so I did not show up. My son called and asked if I was coming to babysit, was I hurt or something and I said I was but I would not be over as I was tired of the money issue, the disrespect from my DIL and the feeling of being used. He hung the phone up on me.
My DIL posted on f/b " A big thank you to my so called "mother in-law" for NOT watching the kids this morning and trying to screw me over. Haha it didn't work and If anyone sees her tell her "have a nice life" from me and my family!? Everyone in her family thought this was great of her as she should not have been treated that way. My friends on the other hand said she was disrespectful and should just hire a babysitter and grow up. Needless to say it got ugly so very ugly in other posts that she told me she wanted me dead.
All of this for not watching the boys. My son has apparently sided with her trying to make it equal in saying that we are both wrong and should give it some time to settle down. Yes I handled it wrong however she is being extreme to a fault. To date I am not allowed to see my gss and it is killing me since I have spent so much time with them. My son is now contacting his brothers to see which side they are on and they are not on either. I am at a complete loss as to what to do next. I am thinking of waiting a week and calling him if I have not heard from him and telling him I want to see my gss. Any thoughts?
Thanks for letting me tell my story. I have read through hear for a while and see a lot of good advise.
