Need to vent
I don't know, this may belong on the "relationship" board, but I need to vent about my sister in law.
She calls my husband (who is her brother in law, she is married to my husbands brother), and tells him that he needs to take a day off monday, and bring her children to gymnastics. Uh, what????????????? My husband doesn't get paid when he doesn't work, so he is going to miss out on hundreds of dollars so that your children won't miss a gymnastics class? They have a "meeting" to attend to they can't bring them. So one parent go to the meeting and one go to gymnastics if this is so important. Right? Am I crazy or was this very rude of her? Uhhh Iam so mad, she does things like this all the time. Thanks

Thank you! I was screaming out of pure confusion! Stupid him said yes and I called and left them a message and said absolutely not! I told them, I can watch them, but I won't drive them to gymnastics-I don't feel comfortable driving other peoples children around.

Re: Need to vent
Why is she TELLING your DH that he HAS to take a day off from work to do anything? If anything, his BROTHER should have called to ASK if you guys could help them out.
I think your SILs actions as spelled by you here are VERY presumptuous and rude.
What did your husband say to her? I would tell her, he can take off but in exchange they're going to have to pay him the amount of moneu he would have made that day if he hadn't taken off from work.
See what they say he NEEDS to do then.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but why were you and your SIL working this out and not your DH and his brother?
I would have had my DH call his brother back explain that he can't just take the day off. This shouldn't have to be your headache.
Why won't you drive your niece/nephew around?

I don't feel comfortable driving children around. What is there is an accident and they are hurt or killed? Do I want that on my conscience? I called her because I had to call her about something else anyway, plus my dh really can't stand her. His brother never calls him either, only when they need something...

Yeah right, they wont pay $5 an hour to a babysit let alone the $500 or so they would need to pay DH to take a day off work.

I know your DH is a nice guy, but I'm thinking he should borrow your SIL's giant set of b@lls. Why in the world would he say yes? What about his boss?

Re: Need to vent
So, I talked to SIL. She goes "oh but he said he would". So I said sorry but he cant take a day off work and no pay to bring your children to gymnastics. The reason why she needs him to take him is because shes missed so many days, and she needs to make them or up lose them. Sorry your problem, not mine!!

How are her children your responsibility?
How is going to a meeting became your problem that now you are working the details on how it would work out and you could watch them and DH could go to work?
Unbelievable! Especially if they only call to ask for favors all the time.
