My daughter was here for Christmas with her husband and daughter. I was trying to be calm the whole time they were here. But even before they got here my son-in-law was pushing my buttons. Both of them are lazy, and that really drives me crazy. My daughter-in-law took care of my granddaughter more than her mommy and daddy did while they were here just because she was trying to help me out. I had to bite my tongue many, many times to keep from saying something that might blow up on me. And then when they were getting ready to go my son-in-law sat on his butt as usual complaining to my daughter to get stuff packed. And then he was complaining about how much stuff they had to pack. Hello, it's Christmas presents. I can skip getting him anything in the future. When i asked for him to watch my granddaughter while I was trying to clean my house he complained about me. And that made me cry. We've bent over backwards since my granddaughter was born watching her so they could go do their thing, and when I needed his help with something with her he complains about me. And my daughter thinks things have changed. She is sooooooo wrong! They went home on Friday and since then I've had ME time, even staying up late at night so I have quiet. I guess part of what makes me so crazy is that my daughter was raised better than that. And when she's here alone she shows it. But why does she do this when she's with him? Or why does she put up with that crap from him? If it were me I'd knock him on his butt and say "Get a life". You guys are so great listening to all of this.
