SO's parents are staying in our house for 8 weeks.They are helping a lot but it is still a lot of work since there are so many people in the house.I try to keep everything as clean as I can, but there are always things happening, especially in the kitchen.
I feel like a guest in my own home, MIL is running it all- which is great in a way, since I had an operation recently and couldn't do anything.But she does things completely different to me and I am feeling really helpless since I like the house cleaner and I virtually can't find ways to clean with them being always in my way.I can only do things when they are gone.And tomorrow we have a house inspection....
Of course they baby SD7 and she knows exactly how to milk them for stuff all the time...And then instead of playing with it, she claims she is bored , so she can get more.SO has been good and set it a limit by talking to them, especially since my children had to watch her eating lollies in front of them and showing off her new toys ...SO interfered thanks god.
I feel that SO and I don't have any time for ourselves at the moment , even though we sometimes leave the house for a few hours.
I am so disappointed- SO has a course in Sydney on our kids free weekend and asked me to come- this would have been the perfect little getaway from everything and a few days away from all the actions.But he also then asked his parents to join us, and me to babysit them and show them around while he is on his course.I feel like an ungrateful brat, but I am not looking forward to Sydney anymore.It would have been totally different if it would be only about the two of us-I understand him wanting to spend a lot of time with his parents, but I feel it is all too much.
And then this morning he shouted at DS 13 for accusing his precious daughter of taking some money of him.I agree that accusing people of things they may not have done is never nice and he needed to be told.But surely not shouted, especially when SD has accused the other children of "stealing" her stuff she had lost in her mess multiple times.But she always gets a "conversation" whereas it seems okay to scream at DS....And to be very honest, SD took stuff before and needed to be told not to take things from the other children without asking AND stole money from her dad last year for weeks and hid it behind her bed, which shocked me when he told me.
I am not happy that he did that , especially follwed by SD who loves when Dadddddyyyyy defends her against the others, so she feels she is such a good girl.
