Very angry, yet again, with MIL
10 Answers
I've been on here a lot with all my recent problems.
Me and my partner have split up and are working on things. He's been staying at his Mums and had the kids over for the night once in the 2 months.
He wanted them again a few weeks ago and his mum said no. We were quite annoyed as we'd given her notice and she wasn't going to be there till late at night when they'd be in bed and was going out in the morning so would have only seen them in the passing. She has a big house so them all being there wouldn't be a big issue with beds etc
Then again, he wanted them to stay with him tonight. We asked at the beginning of the week and again they wouldn't be going there till after their tea then he'd be dealing with them.
But she said no as she had her other grandaughter over tomorrow morning. Fair enough, a bit annoyed as my ex would be dealing with our kids and they'd have all been able to play in the morning for an hour or so before coming home
Then he came over tonight and said that her other grandaughter is staying at her house tonight which has really upset me.
Whats upset me even more is I just need a break its been a very tough 6 months with everything thats happened, and the thought of having a night and morning to myself was just brilliant. I've got no one else where we stay to babysit so I'm with my kids 24 hours a day and I just wanted silence for a few hours. His mum knows I have no one else and its not like we were asking her to babysit, he just wants to see his kids
I cant believe how she can say no to our kids then get her other grandkids over

the last time we'd told her she was staying at dads then his mum said no and had to tell her she wasn't going because granny was ill then she got upset because granny was 'ill'. learnt our lesson their telling her

Why can't he take them out for the day instead of using his mum's house at all. You would get your break then and have the whole day free to yourself, they could come back just in time for bed, and he would have the children to himself all day. Take them out somewhere nice and dont involve his mum at all - its her loss.
how many kids have you got? sounds unfair, but maybe she's thinking that if she makes things too easy for you both, then you'll take longer to sort things out? i don't know....
you haven't answered the other suggestions about your ex having the kids either for a full day or at your house? seems he has a brother or sister nearby as their children stay with "gran" - do they have room for your ex and the kids one night? x

shes trying to punish you for splitting with her darling son...perhaps wanting to show you what life will be like without him and make you realise what you have lost...realise how much you need him...
however...could this all actually be your husbands doing?...blaming her but actually his choice...for the same reasons...
