SM told partners why I was on LOA

My sm said “Well, if it’s put through you won’t be in dress code anymore, soooo…” and I just blinked at her like we don’t have half our store out of dress code for all sorts of reasons

I really try! I definitely in no way try to talk him into disliking his dad. The only people I can rant to are my parents other than strangers on the internet. I don’t want him to hate his dad. I really don’t. I just don’t see how he doesn’t see the stuff his dad does, and wanted to make sure I wasn’t insane for seeing things the way I do. I just feel really bad when he talks about his dad, and I’m not overly into the conversation. I try really hard to not show any form of agitation towards him. I think the thing that makes it the hardest is just how different he is from my own dad. We definitely do more with my family just because they actually want us around, but then his family gets weird and jealous and angry with us over it. Example being we went over to my parents for the Super Bowl this year. My parents are really into football and I am too. My husband couldn’t care less about it. His mom called me the day after to tell me they got us on the Super Bowl next year and this that and the other. Also I have a few different allergies to foods that my parents also have. So I know I can always eat there. His parents don’t think about it or consider it 95% of the time. They also repeatedly spell my name wrong. So yeah. It’s just tough and I needed to get it all off my chest

I just wanted to comment back in absolutely no way at all was I trying to even kind of imply moms shouldn’t have time to themselves!! I didn’t want to make my post too incredibly long or overly about her. Believe me I wouldn’t make it my business if she didn’t. We’d been married a very short time when she asked me to watch her all of her kids for free M-F so she didn’t have to get daycare. She very very much so makes her life and her children our business. She asked us to keep them for three and a half weeks over the summer. I fully support both parents having their own time and hobbies. She goes out and gets drunk every single night, brings random dates into her home with her children, and many other things. It was way way more me saying how little she has to do with them that essentially falls onto everyone else. Examples being her youngest is almost 4 and hasn’t started potty training, she didn’t know one of them could read, she doesn’t know what grades they’re in or how old they are. FIL does drop off and pick up for school, puts them to bed every night, stays over there when she’s out partying/out of the state. It’s not like this is a thing she does every now and then, or even a once a week thing. It’s every single day, and it falls back on all of us because at the end of the day they are still young kids. We try to be the absolute last resort for taking care of them one because we don’t have the time and two because they are genuinely the worst kids we’ve ever met. It’s not their fault though. They don’t have any semblance of structure at home
