Mum fuming at parents' reaction to childcare request after she left the country

A mum has been left feeling betrayed by her parents after they refused to look after their grandson while she was on a business trip.

The woman posted her dilemma to popular online forum, Mumsnet, where she told readers that she had a job that entailed moving across the world at a moment's notice.

Due to this, she took her two-year-old son and husband over to Australia to live for a number of months temporarily, and then they would return to the UK. So, the mum has suggested that the grandparents could look after her son while she visited Europe in August for work.
