This is why I'm anxious - vent

I called my mom earlier to let her know about the induction date and she just called me back. Months ago she scheduled a vacation from work for this coming week because of my due date and the induction happens to fall on the last day of her vacation.

When I told her the date, she instantly sounded disappointed and said "Oh, really? They won't do it earlier in the week?" I told her, "No mom. There's no need, he is healthy and doing fine there would be no reason to." She replied, "Well I know but Sunday will be the end of my vacation from work..."

DH's mom also expressed how it didn't match her schedule. She and my FIL live out of state and our nephew (in our state) has a football game this Friday. She has told me all weekend that "it would be nice if you could go into the hospital on Thursday so we could be in town for the baby and the game."

  • That's dumb. You could go into labor in 5 minutes and it could mess up their schedule. This isn't about them. I'm sorry they are guilt tripping you about your baby's birth. :(

    Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
  • I'm sorry. They're acting a little ridiculous, and whenever you go into labor is going to be fine. It shouldn't have to fit their schedule.

    Agreed. I've told my mom for months that planning a vacation based on my due date could only maybe work out, it is certainly no gaurantee. He could have come 3 weeks ago or any other day for that matter.

    Ugh. I'm pissed and want to turn my phone off until he's born. Lol

    ETA: not to mention, we aren't accepting visitors until after he's born and we've had an hour or so with him anyway and everyone knows this. If she really wanted to plan ahead she should have planned her vacation for November anyway. Annoyed.

  • On the bright side -maybe he will come late, everyone will not be in town and they will leave you alone!!! Visitors are tough. We had to put our foot down constantly.

    Thank you. I definitely don't feel bad for not "accommodating" them. My baby isn't suddenly going to change the course of history and arrive when the calendar is convenient for his grandmothers or anyone else. What a ridiculous thing. Lol

    I also think people sometimes ask pregnant women "is there a baby yet!?" to make small talk. I vow to never irritate another woman with that obnoxious question ever again. :)

  • Really?? God forbid your baby not work around their free time. Do what's best for you and your baby. If they can't be there, it's their own selfish doing.

    I'm sorry you're dealing with this. That sucks.
