Where oh where do I begin? Rant alert!!!!
My sister and her husband live in the sam town as me about 10 min in the car and my nephew attends the same school as my son.
Its become somewhat of a regular request to 'oh could you just pick up l for me' or 'would you have niece a little longer today' or can ypu drop her/him off.
They are very unorganised and I find myself giving money to my nephew at the gates because sis has forgotten. My sister works as a fire fighter and is on shift so the other day I agreed to have my nephew until 9pm because they had no-one else to do it (because my brother in law plays football) but instead of coming straight home they stopped off for a drink and didnt rock up until almost 11pm. Now hes 7 ans my kids are 3 & 6 and are in bed by 7pm.
L was beside himself, I was annoyed because I was tired etc etc.
I feel like im always moaning about my nephew but its when hes with my son they fight, bicker and mess about so I spend my time shouting at them or telling them off only for them to be best mates the next minute.
Well todays request was could I pick up from school and drop hom off at the station where his grandad was going meet us. So after a mad rush from school with little ones and bump I get to the station and wait 30mins to be told that hes not coming and could I just drop off at his other aunts house.
Well im so cross because not only did we rush, it wasnt fair on the other children who now couldnt go to soft play because we'd been delayed so much we wouldn't make it!
My brother in law said he'd pay extra but that's not my problem! My issue is they put these demands on me and it impacts on my life. So new term and I'll be saying NO NO No
No real point just ranting really
