You don't work to spend time with your daughter, you get fired from work. You get fired from work, you have no money, you lose your child.
Go to fuckin work breh
Find some friends for your daughter or tell your mom to put the c-pipe down and play with your daughter

She said she will cook, clean, and baby sit our daughter so we wouldn't have to pay for summer camp...so the plot starts to thicken. I had a shitload of work to do the day after I got back and at 10:00am mom came outside and told me she was tired can you watch your daughter while I sleep? Uhhhhh...OK. I keep on working and then my daughter is bored asking if I can play with her, I felt bad for her so I did the right thing and spent time with my daughter....five hours later mom wakes up and asked if I got alot of work done today, I was stumped at this point, confused. She eats more than we do at our AT OUR EXPENSE, adds items to my wife's grocery list for her, she's the first one to grab a plate at supper, and she leaves skid marks in my toilet........??????
Two and a half weeks later nothing has changed besides my daughter going back to summer camp after the first day of Grandma's arrival.
What would you do in this situation?
Bus or Plane ticket back to OH?

Unless I'm misreading things, you're basically being used by a conniving bitch who's using family ties as a convenient way to get a free ride. Time to cut those ties...unless you're cool with being without a real family while putting your time and resources into supporting your mom...you know, as a way of repaying her for NOT being there in your life while you were growing up.
Once you knock up some OU skank, you'll realize your kid is more important than anything but you'd have to get laid first to get to that point.SportsAndLady;401041 wrote:Work is up there.

Please note, I'm making a joke, not being an asshole.

I find it hard to believe that she would rather just up and leave with the kid rather than have a sit-down with your mother.
Even though it's your mother, your wife is just as affected. I mean, it's her house, her kid, her life, and her authority too! It's not like she's never met the woman before. I'm sure she can be rational, reasonable, fair and polite in nudging your mother to do what she promised to do, just as well as you can/could. And, if that's the route she decides to take, back her up on it.
And then, if your mother still doesn't want to pull her weight, then plan on sending her back home. But, there's no need for dramatics or drastic measures before then, IMO.

They will be paying a portion of the grocery bill while they are there and also some extra for the additional water/electricity they use. I lived off of them for 18 years, I know. But now I have kids of my own living off of me. They weren't pissed, they understood and agreed.

I bought a ONE WAY airline ticket for $68 with my discount, she will be leaving on tuesday morning. I was suprised that air fare was cheaper than Greyhound.darbypitcher22;401600 wrote:greyhound ticket home.
