So tired of the inconsideration of our schedule.
Me and my husband have told both his dad and step mom, and his mom and step dad, our baby’s bedtime is at 6:30-7. We have told them no, we will not stretch it past for a dinner, multiple times. My son is 6.5 months old and we all thrive on a schedule. Yet, I got yet another text asking if we can go over to their house (20 minutes away) for a 6 o’clock dinner. My husband doesn’t get off until 4:30, so basically, no not really. But, I am a chronic people pleaser and never speak up. I always feel guilty when we say no because we don’t see them a ton. But, no fault of ours. They work a lot (not for money at all, just bored in retirement) and I respect that, but I’m not rearranging our whole schedule every time YOU have an evening to finally hang out. I will send photos of our son to my father in law, never has replied once. My MIL never texts me randomly or anything to ask how the baby is. Just feels like we tell them over and over and over, just to never be heard. I don’t know. Just wanted to vent about always having to go around their schedule.
