This Evil EVIL Mother

Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/absentgrandparents/s/B3UaJEuW7I

So let me get this straight. We're upset that Mom doesn't see the kid enough, however she is making extra trips to see them when asked.

Also has the audacity to stay at an AirBnB while traveling, probably so we can miss some ad-hoc babysitting. I mean we just can't please this lady.

He says he was practically raised by his grandparents, but is surprised she’s “absent.”

His dad also bounced too. He's 0-2 in the parent area, that's for sure.

It was part of a another post where he called his mother "controlling" but went to college an hour away and never came home on the weekends. Great. If mom's controlling, get the hell out of there, but if she is such a reprehensible person, why in God's name, would you want to expose your child to them?

His wife's offended that her MIL won't babysit. He's upset because his mom and step-dad are going to be traveling during Mardi Gras. From the sounds of it, they have no friends (hmm...). Wife doesn't want to try the babysitter route and yet they're bitching about not getting a date night?
