This is just the tip of the iceberg. He is so bratty I cannot believe he is older than me. He is so different to my DH. He refuses to pack his own luggage when traveling. Is constantly rude about my MILs cooking, who by the way is an amazing cook. He'll say stuff like "this is disgusting mum. You fucked it up". She's too loving so it's a little bit her fault but it's not like my DH acts like that and they were brought up the same. She gets tired of him but picks her battles and just gives in many situations. Urrrggh I could go on for pages about BIL. Feels good to let ot out. I don't say much about him to anyone IRL except when it's overwhelming me because I know DH would get upset if I bitch about his only brother to others.
I had to resurrect this one to rant about my BIL. I invited MIL and BIL over for dinner on the weekend. I made a delicious atlantic salmon. Mid dinner BIL spits out a mouthful of salmon right on to his plate. He had a napkin right next to him! And he's fussing over almost swallowing a bone and goes "if i even have a bit of bone in my mouth I will stop eating. Mum knows this. It's so lucky I didn't feel it too much because I seriously would stop eating" . Omfg. Firstly you are not 3, so grab a napkin if you need to get rid of food from your mouth. And boo hoo. A little fish bone? Seriously grow up. He has the most disgusting table manners. Elbows wide spread all over into his mum's personal space and he throws chicken bones and pork chop bones on his mum's plate when she's still eating. I hate being seated opposite him.
I mean I hate bones in fish so I understand that part, but I would certainly not spit food onto my plate. Nor would I make such a big deal about it. What terrible manners! Apparently he needs some big boy lessons on manners!
You "owe" your employer but not your child? If you have the opportunity and desire to be with your child at the start of his/her life as long as you can, you should take it. What a weird perspective for her to have. And 4 weeks is nothing.
I know- her perspective is seriously whacky. Not to mention, she stayed home with my dad and his brother until they were old enough to go to school, then she started teaching at the schools they went to. She never put either kid in daycare so I have no idea what the hell she is talking about. I dont even know that you could be cleared to go back to work or put an infant in daycare that early. I honestly think she says things like that to get under people's skin and try to get a reaction out of them.
Depends on the day care, but i am almost positive most day cares the baby has to be at least 6 weeks before they will take them. (I know that is how mine is) Plus I dont think Doctors will clear you until you are 6 weeks. I know someone who went back to work after 4 weeks but it was AMA. So as long as your employer doesnt care it can happen!

Someone needs to knock some sense into him. HOW FUCKING RUDE!

Let me preface this by saying my BIL (single, age 29) is generally a very considerate guy and I do like him. But he just said something I'm really having to exercise ALL of my self control over not to reply with a sarcastic 'oh, you're pregnant too?'
so, H, Ds1 and I are heading to my ILs in SE Pa on Friday afternoon. BIL lives an hr away in center city Philly. Saturday evening we're surprising my sister for her 40th bday at a Phillies game, also in Philly.
I asked BIL to meet us at the ILs bc it'll be the easiest all around. DS1 (he's 4) and I can rest as much as possible before the late night.
BIL writes back "I was going to meet you here in philly if possible because I've been traveling the pay 3 weekends and will be going to SF soon"
DS and I have been OOT for 7 of the last 9 weekends. DH has been along for 2.
