Hello I’m not a gran but didn’t want to post on Mumsnet as I feel I would benefit more getting a grans perspective on the situation!
So my partner booked me a private scan as a surprise but he had to tell me early because he didn't realise he had actually booked a slight later time than we would have both liked as the scan Center that done 4D scans is about 2 hours away each way and we would have to arrange someone to watch our little boy, I tried to change the time and was unable and they did have a cancellation fee so we wanted to see if we could get childcare for our younger son first before cancelling or rebooking for another time. My mum and dad aren't an option as I don't have a relationship with them; so my partner asked his mum if she could watch my son for the night and she replied with "Would rather not "
Im just a little hurt by her use of words not the fact that she doesn't want to watch him as I would never expect someone to be able to watch my son whenever I ask, it was never expected of her I want to make that clear but I'm questioning what's so wrong with watching my son the odd time when she watches her grand daughter every Saturday and few days during the week. She also had her every weekend over night when she was much younger. Of course we haven’t said anything to her we have told her no problem we will sort something else out. I think maybe I have took this the wrong way but I can’t help feel slightly disheartened that she doesn’t want to watch my son but can watch her grand daughter, even though her other son and his wife have a much bigger support network than us.
How do you acknowledge Easter.
In light of our current weather.......
Shall we reboot our cartoons thread again? 😁
