They live down in Southampton and have never had the children. They don't drive and they only have a 2 bed flat and that's not ideal anyway.

How about her parents, are they around ?

Tell her, she'll have to wait her turn now ... There will come a time when the M-I-L is unwell enough to cause concern that you cannot have the G-kids over and then she will have to hold her end up ...

We are looking after the G-kids because my son is away in LA on business. Their Mother refused to have them because "its not my turn to have them" so we stepped up to facilitate. Now guess what? She contacts my son to say she has missed her...
