She should have been on that first flight home with or without that prick of a husband…& that MIL should’ve cut her holidays short to mind her grandchildren… there’s been a death in the family FFS, her sons FIL had died! Abroad…. I have no support for childcare only my own mother and so if anything happened her I’d never get anywhere. I have a great network of friends but wouldn’t dream of landing my kids on them but if a parent had suddenly died I’d take any offer of help that came my way….
i don’t know, it’s a very strange set up altogether, as much as URsula annoys the shite outta me with her carry on, I reallly feel sorry for her. I’d love to be her friend right now and help her through this horrendous nightmare. I know what it’s like to lose a parent but to be In a foreign country is a different scéal altogether.
That husband needs to get himself out of the 1950s and stop treating her like the hired help… Ursula If you’re reading this, tell him to pay you for all the hours you cook, clean and mind the kids, that should cover the cost of your flight home (to bury your father RIP) and seriously though If you do read this comment, I am very sorry for what you’re going through
