Only Three More Days…
My husband and I are on vacation with his family. I currently have a broken foot and have had to stay behind during some activities. Today everyone went into town and I stayed back to ice my foot. My 10-year-old niece (my husband’s sister’s daughter) didn’t want to go so she stayed also. Shortly after everyone left, my niece starts messing around with my crutches.
Long story short, she decided to take them and hide them in the other room across the house and refused to give them back. I knew it would be hours before anyone came back, so I got up and hobbled around the house trying to find them. Each step was excruciating. My husband’s family comes back and I’m in tears because I’m in a lot of pain.
I tell them what happened and my husband agrees she needs to apologize. She knew better and that was malicious and unacceptable. Then my sister-in-law and brother-in-law defend her, saying she didn’t mean any harm. They didn’t make her apologize or even talk to her about it. What the heck. My mother-in-law agrees with them that I blew the whole thing out of proportion and I don’t have a reason to be upset.
Ummm, for one, my foot is more swollen and painful than it was this morning. I’m so tired of my husband’s family and the fact that they defend my sister-in-law’s kids no matter what. My niece 100% knew better and it was a safety hazard, but apparently it doesn’t matter and she can’t do any wrong. Only three more days of being stuck with them…
