    Well thats one less person she can drop the kids off at short notice.... My guess is that she will be thick skinned though.
    8am? That's a bit late. If they are anything like mine were they'll be up at 7. Give them a high glucose beakfast. (Hot porridge with lots of syrup is a good one on a winters day ;)) Then get them back home for 7.30 just as the sugar rush is kicking in.

    Yeah i'd be tempted to do that too but it aint really fair on the kids though is it?

    I am amazed at the patience of some people... How did you managed to remain calm after her behaviour this morning? I have a tendency to be over-accomodating to others too, but if anyone treated with the contempt your sister treated you yesterday and this morning, I would have exploded long ago!!

    I didn't load them with sugar. I guess my sister won't be speaking to me again.

    I shudder to think what she will do with my neices today.

    I really don't know. I just walked back to the car and drove. I don't know how I did it.

    I guess she only cares for herself and not others.

    I would probably have said no when she first turned up, but I have to say I feel so sorry for those poor kids.

    Sorry just not happy having this happen.

    So why did you let it happen? I think I'm more annoyed with you allowing yourself to be treated like this than your sister's behaviour!

    I do, I couldn't have seen them out on the streets on their own.

    I guess their father stopped taking them in some time ago?

    Now both sisters are off the list

    where does that leave the kids?

    at least it is one less Xmas card next year.
    or perhaps you could send this one
