I reckon if her parents came down to her, she would find somewhere else to be all day, every single day. It’s one thing to enjoy spending time with your grandchildren but another to look after them day in day out.
Im not saying it is, Im just saying she could visit sarah, not to babysit but just to visit her.
Yes like Robs parents!?
I don’t understand why they don’t go early saturday, drive to Robs parents which is around 200 miles (with a break or two) have the afternoon there and stay overnight so the kids can catch up with the other side of the family. They could then leave Sunday morning after breakfast, drive for a couple of hours to somewhere the kids can have a bit of fun running around and burning off energy for an hour or two then complete the journey with another shorter break or two on the way. Add iPads, books, snacks, colouring, car games and a nap to pass the time. She turns it into something far worse than it is by driving through the night, it’s no wonder the kids argue and fight, they are tired, bored and irritable.
It’s a fair detour to go into the centre of Glasgow too! X
she's so bloody odd
I don’t think it’s strange at all. Sarah is up in Aberdeen every few months. She sees her parents a lot. Why should her mum and dad be expected to
Think Sarah just needs to take the bleeping hint to be honest. If I lived the opposite end of the country my parents would most definitely make the effort to come to me so as not to impact my children & their routine. The fact that Sarah’s parents don’t ever seem willing to do that for me would be alarm bells. They clearly are also sick of being her babysitters and therefore I’d just keep my kids where they’re settled and happy. Why go all that way for people who so blatantly don’t want to make the effort for you, parents or not?! It’s even more strange when you consider how obsessed Sarah is with her perfect childhood, she’s obviously not that close with her family.
Whenever she’s at her parents they take complete charge of the kids. I really don’t think you can say they don’t make the effort. Her mum particularly seems to dote on those kids in a way their mother never ever has. Things like doing a proper evening routine - Sarah admits herself that at Granny’s house Lachlan goes off to sleep no bother on his own - he never does that at home with Sarah.
Sounds the exactly the same as when she goes to see them apart from the going into the office bit but she will just work from their house instead bless her
Yes! She’ll suddenly become indispensable in the cut throat world of ordering stationary “mum and dad bless them are taking the kids out with my pupther so I can work ha ha ha ha ha ha”Sounds the exactly the same as when she goes to see them apart from the going into the office bit but she will just work from their house instead bless her
