Very funny blog! So glad we have blackout curtains here. Daylight in the summer time can last till 10 pm or later where we're a tad higher up latitude wise than I was in NS.
Tiff--Yea I really love that picture, the bunny is so adorable! We got a kitten when I was pregnant, she'll be a year next month but a bloody pain in the ass sometimes. Don't know what I was thinking! haha
Right, sorry I didn't get back on again last night to moan about my in-laws visiting. Jack went to bed a bit later and DH and I watched the latest episode of Alcatraz we'd recorded then I went to bed. So far so good today, we're considerably better!!
Anyways, they showed up here about 5 mins after DH came through the door, obviously saw him drive up by (yes I live just up the road for them, which sucks as they can see me come and go and then get pissy when I don't stop in if I'm out!). And in the 45 mins they were here, here are the following points that pissed me off....
1. Within about 10 mins of being here, FIL looked out the kitchen window at the fence and commented on how we STILL haven't got it fixed after it blew over last winter. I told him it's cause we can't f***ing afford it! After the hassle we had with repairing other winter damage on the house last winter, we can barely afford anything at the moment so unless you're willing to fork out the time and effort...piss off!
2. Everytime I commented on how sick I'd been, or Jack had been my Step-MIL had to comment on how her daughter (my sis in law) was sicker. We'll call her K. So conversation went like this. Me: I've never been so sick, I'm sure I was up 20 times to the bathroom. Step-MIL: Well K was up 25 times. Me: I was awake from about 2:30am. Step-MIL: K was up at 2am! IT'S NOT A F***ING COMPETITION!!
3. They brought over £2 each for Jack and my stepson for Easter, as they weren't buying chocolate eggs for everyone. I commented on how I hadn't gotten anything for Jack for easter yet but (jokingly), he might just get diapers as he'd gone through that many with the diarrhea. At which point, she pointed her finger at me and said, don't you be buying diapers with the money I gave him!!
4. In the whole 45 mins they were here, they not ONCE asked how Jack and I were feeling. Especially him and he's been sick for nearly 2 weeks!! Not ONCE!!!!! And FIL held him for about 45 seconds right before he left and as soon as he started getting a bit strange with him, he passed him back to DH. Oh, but Step-MIL at least acknowledged him before he left. She came and said ta-ta to him while he was sitting in his highchair.
Have I mentioned I don't like my in-laws! And you wonder why!! Don't worry, my DH is fond of them either. I'd say it's about 97% of poisonous Step-MIL's influence and bitter twistedness!!!
