Well tonight i have been so scattered, i had words with my mother inlaw to be because bayley she would ring him after school yesterday and didnt ring till 9pm of course he was asleep, So she said she would ring him back at 3.45 today (after school) after him sitting there for an hour waiting for her call she finally rang at 6pm, well i wasnt happy and told her, again she couldnt talk to him because he was in the bath! And then i cleaned my lounge room and changed it all around because of a hole in the floor under the carpet, and well i moved my pc and everything well for 20 minutes now i have been warming some water to cook bayleys dinner and i just now realised i unplugged the oven when i was moving the pc and forgot to plug it back in! I really feel i am going crazy

Its upsetting when you can see the hurt on your kids faces. If she continues to let him down by not calling eventually he will decide not to talk to her when she does call. My son did that with his dad....he would say he would call and then not call for weeks or call at wrong times.....so when he did finally call at the right time ny son held the phone back and said "I dont want to talk to him mumy" breaks your heart as you want to protect them from such hurt. Good luck

I went through this with my ex. and it is the children that are the ones that suffer as they wait for that promised call or even a visit that does not happen! You are not losing your mind but sitting by the phone waiting can cause anxiety have if the call does not come then other things can happen that seem like everything is going wrong. If she is like this the best way is to learn by it and not expect too much!

Great loss did not happened for loosing your mind to replug the woven, but I read a story writing in school of class X that was: A group of student went in a deep forest for picnic the took everything need to cook but they as are male student do not know how to cook then they purchased a book wherein cooking idea was written. A group of student started to read and instructed another group to prepare food such as take meat, spice, water, salt etc. according to cooking instructions and thus they finished the cooking process and last instruction was to close lead the pot and wait until cooking finish. So after closed the led of the cooking pot they went to play, someone to see forest area and someone stayed near the cooking place. After 4-5 hrs. student when felt hungry they found nothing was cooked inside the pot, they again checked that full instruction they had completed what was written to cook food so why it was not completed? They called the junion teacher and he also cannot find out cause. Lastly their elder teacher detected that there was no instruction to set fire so how cooking will be completed and for want of fire all the picnic party had to kept hungry and returned home with bitter mood. Losing a important thing fom mind losing interesting things from life. So we should keep our mind attentive while do a responsible work.

You are stressed and you are allowing all these things to interfere with proper living of life. dont allow others misdeeds to upset you so much just do the best you can

No, you aren't going crazy, you are pissed off at your mother-in-law because twice she has donesomethingthat was inconsiderate. simply don't depend on her, get on with your life, and let your son get on with his, and you will seethings getting better. you now know she isn't dependable, so don't expect her call. Check her calls off as something not important, besides, a daily call is far too much to expect for any child to be forced to handle.
