    I can't really add anything else to what has already been said, but just wanted to say you sound like an amazing auntie and you'll be a fantastic mum to your baby, OP! :)

    Why is your mum having a go at you - can she not look after her own grandchildren, if they allegedly need so much looking after? :mad:

    Your dad and brother sound lazy and useless. Honestly, a child who's at nursery and another who's at playschool - and two grown men can't deal with that? Just makes me so cross! :mad:

    And all the talk about the children being accidents? Argh! :mad: Accidents or no accidents, the dad needs to deal with the consequences and face up to his responsibilites. Then again, it sounds like he doesn't have a great father role model anyway.

    Sorry, I don't have great experiences when it comes to families (or families-in-law) being remotely helpful when it comes to childcare :(, so this is a subject close to my heart, and it makes me so cross to see how unappreciated and disrespected you are. :A

    Good luck with the baby and everything. :kisses3:

    And BTW I would kill to have a SIL like you. :iloveyou::D :rotfl:

    Stop being a wimp and get more assertive. People will take you for a mug if you let them. Ask them if they will recipicate and have your baby for one day a week (or even a month )and see the reaction you get.
