a few weeks ago I made cup cakes that turned out unsuitable for my boy to bring for school, so I told my brother to bring his family down that night for cupcakes – its damn hard for a family of five to eat 30 cupcakes, yo.

So he said he was coming and we waited and waited, and then I called and lo an behold, his gf of 8 years was pissed off and nope, not coming anymore. then, not even an hour later he called to see if he could stay with me a few days becuase their fight had gotten so bad they ended their relationship.

fast forward. they are back together, and on a wait list for couples counseling. I woke up to my brother asking us over in the evening to play games, i told him absolutely we would be there, and spent the rest of the day looking forward to it!

hubs and I went to a movie in the afternoon and came home to a message from my brother telling us to come round 8:30-9 PM, so I called back to confirm we would be there.

Only, he wasn’t there, his GF was and she sounded PISSED. Fast forward, he calls me back to cancel.

So wtf? she is all happy and chipper to drop her girls off here for free babysitting while they go out on the town, but when it involves me being there she gets mad, starts fights and makes my brother cancel?

One thing i know for sure. the free babysitting? thats done. I will still visit my nieces- at my dads, but if I’m not good enough for HER to be around, she shouldn’t be leaving her kids with me either, IMO.
