Hi sorry, long post. I just wanted some advice to see what others would do.
So, my husbands Mother and Grandmother live together and his Grandmother provides childcare for my 2 kids after school for 1 hour per day.
They are the only family we have as I a estranged from mine and unfortunately I am unable to afford the local after school club.
Today via text, my Mother in law has messaged my husband to say that the children are no longer welcome due to them being rude, disrespectful and moany when they are not the centre of attention - they are aged 5 and 8.
I am beyond fuming about these comments and have had to leave work early today to have the children. I will have to do this for the rest of the week also.
Im at a loss at what to do next. Wait til it blows over? Message my MIL and respond? Reduce my work hours? Pay for after school club and take the financial hit?
What would you do? I’m so upset and angry about all of this.
First logical action would be to find out what happened for her to decide she didn't want them.
They are not unkind if they are true. Equally, she may have had a long day, not felt well, have had enough or just had a bad day.
Investigate what happened and why she felt like this. I don't understand why you are fuming without checking what is what sorry. May all blow over tomorrow but the onus is on you and hubby to find out what happened.
She has done nothing wrong.
I'd speak to her it's only an hour and kids are kids what does she expect kids be good all time. It happens. Personally I pay after school club or ask to go in earlier finish earlier x
