Bro came over w/ his bubs yesterday. Always nice to see the new addition but not quite sure what to think about it.

Basically he hasn’t been here to help (this is well before the bubs arrival when major shit was going down w/ ol’ girl) and is now not so subtly suggesting we look after the baby so they can have some respite as child care is too $$$. Saying other grandparents look after their grand kids… basically guilt tripping.

  1. Ol’ girl is in absolutely no shape to do any of that (and it wouldn’t be safe for the bubs). He knows that but still pushing for it which I find remarkable.

  2. Ol’ boy would be hopeless.

  3. Might make me an arsehole but I’m not doing it on top everything else.

It’s just mind boggling how he’s even thinking that’s possible. I didn’t call him out on the guilt tripping (should have in hindsight) but i find the whole thing a bit poor.
