First off let me be clear that I found this by snooping. My husband doesn’t even update me on her drama anymore because she’s so ridiculous and he doesn’t want to stress me out. I just knew it had been quiet too long so I looked at their texts.
She sent a long paragraph to him last month about not being a priority in his life, being robbed of time with her grandchild that she can’t get back, how unfair it is that she can’t just come over while HE’S AT WORK, that he needs to take a stand and make time for her.
Mind you, they have ALWAYS gone months without seeing each other,’despite living only 15 mins apart. I can’t imagine why she thought this would magically change when we had another child. She said we only prioritize my family, but I just see my family as much as I always have. (He’s rarely even around for the events/visits I have with my family because of his work schedule.)
My husband and I both work 50+ hours weekly onsite and we have no shared days off. He works in retail sales, so nights and weekends are mandatory. He’s only off Monday and Tuesday. I’m only off evenings and Fridays. She works Monday-Friday and REFUSES to come when he’s home on Monday or Tuesday evenings because “it’s too hard” for her. (She’s lucky to even be offered those nights because they’re our only nights together as a family!) She insists we should make time for her on the weekends when she’s off, even though we both work long hours. So she can’t stop by after she works, but I’m expected to HOST her when I get off work, by myself while my husband works until 8 or 10pm. As a newly postpartum, sleep deprived mom of 2. I seriously can’t believe how unreasonable and entitled she is.
