Oh I know what you mean Emmy1987, MIL has just told us she's missing LOs 1st birthday to piss off to Spain as she 'needs' a holiday, this is on top of the 3 weeks in Australia she had at Christmas. The 2 other cruises and 4 Spanish holidays in the past 5 years alone!! I only found out about this holiday after she begged £25 off us for 'food' she told us. So like any other person I lent her the money which was meant for a coat for LO to find out she has booked another fricking holiday!!! Its her fault we are paying off debt for the next 20+ years and she owes SIL over £5000. Sorry about the rant just so frustrated I know how ya feel!! Some weeks I have to pick between which bills to pay!!
