So my husbands sister asked me to keep her kid for the week after Christmas until the third of January because apparently the daycare is closed. I told her I'd think about it and I did and decided hell no! The more I thought about it the crazier it sounded. (beware, foul language about to be used) is she fuckin crazy? First off, her son is only a couple of months older than my youngest. That means I'd have the three big kids, a two year old, and TWO kids under the age of 1. How in the fuck does she expect me to manage that for an entire week? It's not like her brother would help when he gets home from work. He already said that it's not his problem. And who in their right fucking mind sends their kid that young out of state for a damn week to stay with someone that the baby has only seen once? That shit isn't normal. And what if something happened? I live out in the middle of nowhere and when he's at work I'm here with no vehicle unless I drop him off (which isn't often cause that results in me getting up at 4:30 am). On top of that, I wouldn't be able to fit us all plus another car seat into the car. Which would mean we're stuck at home no matter what. No taking the kids anywhere that entire week. Fuck that, I'm taking my husbands approach, it's not my problem. She had the baby she needs to do what the rest of us mothers do and deal with it instead of sending him away for a week. If he were older like over the age of 3 or 4, it wouldn't be an issue but a baby.... She's asking for waaaaay too much!
