Since mememe has been gone that has meant that my sister-in-law had to take care of her own kid. I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that memememe takes care of the kid for nothing 5-6 days a week (and sometimes Sunday too) as well as buy all his diapers and got knows what else.

Well, once meme announced that she was going to be gone for 2 weeks, my sister-in-law THREW A FIT about how she wasn’t going to waste her vacation to stay home with her son! As it has turned out, she did end up staying home a few days with him; however, she did also take him to a day care for a few days too. I talked to meme junior yesterday and she went on and on about how it cost $30 a day to take him to day care and how that money would pay a payment on something and on and on.

OH MY GOD!

As someone who was never able to have children (though I didn’t necessarily want any), I just cannot fathom the attitude. If I would have been lucky enough to have a child, I just do not think I’d feel that #1 my vacation time would be wasted if I spent it with my little one; #2 that the cost of day care wasn’t worth it because I could pay a payment on some toy for myself; and #3 that leaving him with my mother-in-law would be preferable to either of the other 2 options.

After I hung up with my sister-in-law and replayed the conversation in my head I realized, the selfish apple sure doesn’t fall far from the selfish tree in that family! Cripes!
