My ex mil called today to "speak to the kids"... She continues to support and defend her sons deplorable behavior.. yet she continues to contact me to do anything she needs done. I run around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to keep this home running.. but she has zero expectations of her son. She was angry that I don't get the kids to call her - I asked why can't your son do that? I wasn't sure when the kids dance recital was - she told me to make sure I find out - He's not capable?? She just called and asked ME to pick up a gift and a card for my sons birthday for her.... WTF........ When I ask her to get her son to do it..... I'm being unreasonable and difficult?? I know this is petty stuff but I am one tired mom....

" In Australia Grandparents have rights to communicate and see their grandchildren. But they can't expect you to run around and do them favours...Your MIL will probably expect you to pick up her drycleaning and balance her cheque book next. "
