We live with my MIL due to leaving an apartment that was no longer habitable (fire). So overall I am grateful for her and FIL for letting me stay and my 2 kids and husband. However she is strange with my kids and ignores them at home yet invites herself to my sons basketball game. She needs to do the imaginary roll call. Also, my mom has breast cancer and looks totally different so I don't invite my mom due to her not feeling comfortable about seeing family members atm. But my FIL and MIL question why my parents don't come to my son's games (it's because their dumbasses invite themselves) and if my parents did go, they wouldn't like it either because then its a competition.

We will move out ASAP since MIL and FIL are retiring next month and although I appreciate the discounted rent, its driving me mad and i cannot imagine when they are both home 24/7. My MIL wants to invite her other grandchildren to sleep over yet we it's tiny house and my husband has already told her it would make us comfortable if she can just wait until we move out...she has agreed yet brings it up to me like as if i will convince my husband...she thinks shes so clever...shes very calculated but luckily DH and I are 5 steps ahead. We can never share about raises or savings or anything of that nature because then her daughter is so less fortunate....everything we say backfires so we don't share anything. She insists on going to my son's game to cheer hime on, show face, and ignore him at her house. It's completely bizarre. Next season, when we are moved out I don't DH HELL NO are we inviting them, no way..she has no clue about what's going on in the sport and in addition she doesn't even communicate with my son at home.

Also my parents are annoying me because it seems like they put very little to no effort into my kids. DH and I want to live near family however at this point I wonder why bother? We live in the SF Bay Area and it is truly expensive but now I am considering moving, it's our families are so unbelievably toxic.

My son has been playing LL for 4 seasons and is 10. We switched LL due to moving and my husband and I love the coach like hes the best coach we've witnessed. He has 2 sons on the team you wouldn't know who they were because all kids are rotated and my son will play 1st, pitcher, short and left in 1 game. He does this for most players. Many mistakes are made due to his coaching style but it builds up the players confidence and gets them exposed to different positions so its just so foreign to me since im so used to daddyball for the past seasons.

However the parents are so critical of outside kids (mine). Right off the bat when my son pitches a mom said there goes 5 runs. I couldn't believe it and im sitting near her. My son and her son pitch and they do well overall..and my son has never had 5 runs scored on him (mercy rules). She was also pissed because her son got hurt playing 1st and my son was placed there and she yells to her son, "see now someone else is stealing your spot " its pretty disgusting and I can never imagine treating a child like that. Its not worth saying anything and shes loud and pretty ghetto. Its just so bizarre and shes the ring leader of the parents.

I am not going to bring it up since we love the coaching staff and my son is having a blast and thats all that matters. However I never realized how disgusting and vocal parents can be. Luckily, I never experienced this and whats worse is shes so loud that everyone can hear her including my son. I think shes insecure because shes used to all the praises for her son (he is a good pitcher and fielder) however my son has developed so much over the past seasons the coach even questioned why he didnt move to majors. So I think its that. But I wish her entourage (other parents) would realize that she just likes them because their kids are still developing and making her son seem more seasoned. I truley dont understand that way of thinking because I cheer for all of his teammates. ANYWAY end rant
