However, their 3 other kids ages 5-8 stayed with my parents and are still there. And for the next week my Dad is going to be staying at my sisters to watch her 3 kids since they have to go back to school. Meanwhile, my brother in law her husband did get time off for this. In fact, he was given 2 weeks off with the option of coming back after a week. But to him this is just a vacation for him. Yesterday, he was watching football and so is he today. I think he's going golfing later this week. This just really pisses me off. Mostly because my parents are busy as it is with their own lives. I came up for two days to help with the grand-kids, but I had to go back down to school. (I'm in University). And I just know my sister is not going to show a single ounce of gratefulness for what my parents are doing for her because they hardly do. She and her husband tend to expect us to do things for them. Like I said, this makes me very angry and I really want to say something to them. I just don't know what, or even if I should. I understand, for my sister she will be recovering and having to spend lots of time with her newborn, I get that. But the fact my brother in law is exploiting this to just take a vacation instead of actually being a Dad.
Don't do anything for your sister in future, and when she whines explain that it's because of her ungrateful and selfish attitude that you decided to no longer drop everything to attend to her problems.
Your parents will have to come to that conclusion by their own means.
