family being divided

Comment Published at 20:5320:536 comments6 comments37 Visits37 VisitsReport

My hubby and his mother have had a falling out! Has nothing to do with me but i feel im stuck in the middle.

They have had this falling out about 2 weeks ago now, As most of you know that my kids go to the day care centre that my MIL works at. Last week she pretended not to see me and that was ok.

My hubby now want me to pull them out of there and send them to another one??? What do you think about that? I dont want to really because they have there friends there ect.... But they are still young so they will make friends easily.

The reason this has come up is bec it was Annaliese 4th birthday yest and no phone call to wish her a happy birthday but did recieve a card with a cheq in it. Hmmm this did not sit well with me and wen hubby got home from work and told him that his mum sent a cheq with card he was very mad.

So being a smart ass he rang her and mad her wish Annaliese a happy birthday. I dont know if that was the right decision but hey its not my family.

Now he wants to get married without his family but i think he might regret it later on...

Im just over this its doing in my head dont know what to do?????????

I just had to vent sorry guys but really in state of blankness

Sweetie, don't change child care centres because your hubby wants to play stubborn bull!  Not good for your children, and would add more fuel to the fire and really drag you into it.

It really sounds as though there is childish behaviour on hubby's part and his mum's part.  Can see where he gets it from then can't you. 

Don't know what to say sweetie, other than, stay out of it, and keep the kids in daycare!!!!!!!

Re: family being divided

ur husband is grown man and if  he has issues with his mother let them work it out. Stay out of the line of fire or you will be collateral damage, otherwise you may be come the bad guy and then they will both blame you for the silly arguement they had. Sorry bout the kids ,the lil ones are always the one's that get the short end of the stick so to speak.

Good luck and hang in there!

I don't know why they call them inlaws, surely it should be outlaws?  Try not to worry too much about it, as long as you and Jimmy are getting along, and the girls are happy - that's all that counts.  Sometimes thinking too much can complicate the issue and do your head in a bit, so simplify things and follow your heart.  Lotsa love to you babe - Lui xox

Hey Tee......

Family can get so messy and it makes things so difficult...........What I would do is just sit and chill for a bit. Don't make any decisions just yet. I know you and your MIL don't get along but I would hate Jimmy to regret any decisions he makes now when he's so mad. Tell him that you can't just pull the girls out just yet, you have to give 2-3 weeks notice (our centre requires 2 weeks notice) Let Jimmy let off steam all he likes but if I were you I would be calm about the whole thing.

It's hard not knowing the whole story but in the end it's both yours and Jimmy's decision. Just don't make any quick or rash decisions while he's angry.

Love ya and I hope Kat's doing better.

i am so sorry with what you are going through . if you pull the girls out and put them in a new one you may end up regeting later as they may not like the new one and they may have close friends at the one they are at i am not sure . i hope things settle down for you love ya

Re: family being divided

Is there anyway you can get u]your hubby to sit down and talk with your MIL about what happened?? or even try and make a peaceful solution so that your kids and and your MIL can at least see and interact with each other outside of Day care??

My dad had a fight with his folks just after he married mum found out 20 od years later that it wasnt his parents he should of been mad at but in fact was his sister and because of that i barely know my Grandparents.

So the best thing is to come sort of truce. I think anyways.
