Why I'm Blocking My Parents

Transcript

I might have to block my parents and I want you guys to see this text and tell me if it's justified. And for context, I've had a very hard day at work, okay? Difficult day of parenting, and to top it off, it is raining outside. It's been raining all day, so that means that I'm not going to the playground today. My son's not going to the playground. So, we're going to have to figure out what to do with him inside of the house. Now, let me show y'all this text that I got. Hope y'all had a good day at work. Now, here's why this is egregious. First of all, my parents only booked this trip like two to three weeks ago. Now, y'all may not know this, but we strict over here, okay? All PTO request from grandparenthood must be submitted at least six weeks in advance. So, they did not abide by the rules. Now, secondly, let's let's pull up the text again. Not only did they not submit the proper PTO request, but now they're also rubbing it in. Flag on the play. These people have up and gone to Hawaii without permission, and then they have the nerve to send a text about it. So y'all tell me, should I block them?
