my friend is jetting off to new york with her dh this morning and her 2 dcs are being looked after for the week by grandparents
this will never happen for me and dh. even though our dparents are relatively young (under 60) as MIL is a selfish arse who rarely babysits and then only for DD, as DS is not her proper grandchild (he is from my previous relationship, therefore she is not interested :( ) yet she constantly babysits her DP's GC who is not her bio GC (this whole MIL story, in itself, is a long story) and my parents both work full time and are not that keen on babysitting for more than a few hours at a time or at a push if we are desperate, overnight. but my mum has a knack of making me feel guilty about it and like a child again when i have to ask her.
we are having DC3 in april and babysitting will become even more scarce as who will want to look after 3 dcs?
aibu to be massively jealous a bit envious of the lucky lucky jammy bastards parents who have loads of babysitting options?
i wouldnt change having my dcs for anything but sometimes i would love a break
