MIL treats SIL kids differently
Please please tell me if I’m being dramatic or not 🥲
My MIL is pretty good for the most part but every so often she does something that just gets under my skin so freaking bad.
So today my daughter (5y) has a field trip with her school (the first one that’s out of town) and I asked MIL 3 weeks ago if she could watch my younger two (4y & 6months) now usually this wouldn’t be a problem at all but she says she “accidentally” made an appointment for today at 1pm that absolutely *cannot* be changed. So I had to tell my daughter last Friday that I won’t be able to make it on the field trip anymore. To say that she was beyond heartbroken is an understatement. She had begged me every single day to please come on the field trip because I already told her I could. I’m super heartbroken and sad that this happened, I was so so excited to be able to finally go on one of my daughter’s field trips only for it to be taken away last minute. The part that I’m so frustrated with is the fact that if it was my SIL she would 1000% change her appointment to accommodate for her. She just did it last week because my SIL needed to go get groceries ffs.
She phoned my husband last night and said “oh you know *sister* just has such a hard time with the two kids, she needs more help, I’m going to her house tomorrow so she can take a nap and clean” so now I’m pissed tf off because what about the super important appointment she had for today?? 🙄🙄 My husband works a 7/7 shift that’s 15 hour days so I’m essentially by myself for an entire week, I only see him at night. My SIL is ALWAYS at my MIL house, legitimately every single day her bf is working because she “just can’t do it” by herself (her bf works 10 hour days on a 7/7 shift)
I’m just so frustrated with the constant comparison from my MIL.
Please tell me if I’m being too dramatic or over the top 😅
