Mommy2Isabella wrote: URG ..... Rant to follow ..

My mother calls me at 5:30 this morning letting me know that she will have to bring my niece by here because is forgot that she had to do the memorial thing, It was driving right past her work.

* The reason my mom has my niece is because my sister is a non-existent mother and my mom has them everyother week. *

Either way, she was supposed to take my niece HOME this morning on her way to work, but because she was IRRESPONSIBLE she had to bring her here. So since 5:30 I have had my niece here who is A BRAT. And Bella and I had mommy and me plans for the day and now we can't do them ... its is already 12:30 still no WORD from my mother ... URG ....

Calimama replied: That stinks! I'm sorry hun. You deserve a day off.

grapfruit replied: Sorry she had to mess your day up. Can you call her and be like, "Pick her up! I have plans!" I assume calling your sister isn't an option?

moped replied: OH darn!

But you are a good Auntie!

Mommy2Isabella replied: I don't think my sister has a phone. Even if she did, I wouldn't call her to come get her because she hasn't seen her in months, and even then my niece wouldn't go with her because she doesn't know thats her mom. She just thinks its a really nice lady ...

BLAH, my mom just called, I GET TAKE MY NIECE HOME, 45 min, into BFE! Im so excited.... URG ... and Im hungry ...

grapfruit replied:
That's sad. How old is your niece?

Cece00 replied: Next time...just say NO.

gr33n3y3z replied:
I thought of saying that also but then she wouldnt be any better then her mother not wanting anything to do with her

grapfruit replied:
Not really. She's being a good mom to Bella. But I see your point, that poor kid getting shuffled around. I think a "I'm sorry but we have plans today, I can't take her" could have been ok. You're kind of in between a rock and a hard place huh?

Mommy2Isabella replied: I take care of them all week everyweek. Everyother week I have monday and friday off. My niece wanted to stay the night with my mom last night though it isn't my moms week. So she stayed which isn't anything out of the norm. The only problem is that she was going to take her home this morning .. but forgot about the firefighter thing.

URG! Its not that my sister wants nothing to do with her kids. She has 3 children one of which lives with her and her boyfriend. Her other 2 children live with their father (William and Caroline) My sister was VERY bad into drugs and just recently completed rehab, She was absent from their lives the past 2 1/2 3 years. My niece is only 3 1/2 and doesn't remember the times when they were all together and a happy family. my sister was married to their father, but left for drugs.
Its a very sad and touchy subject in our family. I get very angry, she did drugs her whole pregnancy with her youngest child and she is FINE ... and I did everything I could to protect bella, and she had to be on a monitor, and all kinds of mess. It is just frustrating, EITHER WAY.

I can't say no, my mom has WAY TO MUCH on her plate as it is. I am helping them out by providing care. They pay me, so I can't really complain, on top of that they are family. It does stink sometimes that we are all punished for my sisters problems. My sister is trying to get me to take her other child for a week so she can go on vacation with her boyfriend and his family. Which, is OUT OF THE QUESTION!! I will not! My sister cannot be trusted. I did it for her once and had an extra child for a month! I can't handle that right now.

AHHHHH Man I feel better! Thanks guys ...
