OK here is the story, my mother in law use to babysit for us on Fridays, and when she came over - her only day with her grandson mind you! she invited her whole family over my house. and this upset me, i really don't like all these people in my house while i am working, i told her about it before and she did it again, i went home last Friday for lunch and there is tons of people at my house, when i told her Micah wasn't feeling well and he was very clingy today. and she threw a hissy 2 year old fit, and quit on me, which left me with no babysitter on Fridays. and she told her whole family and they boycotted Micah's first Birthday party. I was so pissed off!! they are all such babies.
Well the way i see it, there missing out! No me, i got so mad i wrote her this letter and put it in her Thank you card from Micah's birthday. i hope she felt bad when she read it... The nerve of his family taken it out on a little child... They all need to grow up. I try to call this woman to talk about it, but she will not take my calls..

here is the letter:

Karen,

I’m sorry you and your family could not join Micah in celebrating his First Birthday. He had a great First Birthday party!

I would just like you to understand one thing; I have rules in my house and I would appreciate it if you would respect them. Please understand that I do not appreciate people coming over to my house when I am not home. If they would like to visit Micah when I am there, please have them call me and I would gladly set up a time for a visit.

By you and your family boycotting your Grandson’s First Birthday, please understand that you hurt YOUR son, Mike, and missed out on an important milestone of YOUR grandson’s life.

Now it is up to you! Are you going to exclude yourself from Micah’s life and watch from a distance? Or are you going to take an active part as a Grandmother in his life? It is your call!


Let me know.

Haley, your letter was great, you took the high road. You're a great Mom!!
Micah is a lucky little boy to have you for a Mom.

Thank you, i just got so sick of his family walking all over me. Micah was so sick that day, and she invited her family over there, and another thing while she is entertaining her family (and there drinking all my pop and eating my food too) no one is watching Micah !!! i am still so pissed off its unreal !!!

Sometimes Haley, that by sticking to the main point, you can actually say more my saying less.
