Are we rude?

Re: Are we rude?

  • No...you are not rude. My DS was 3 weeks early, my nephew was 10 days past his due date. Not an exact science. Enjoy your trip!

  • No, you're not being rude. But your SIL is being hormonal, that's for sure! My God.
  • She's 100% nuts, unless you booked it on purpose. But clearly from her comment that you are going to end up alone...yep, she's nuts. And karma's a b*tch, so she'll prolly be 2 weeks late.
  • No, she's just being overly controlling and sensitive. If my mother said she was going out of town that week, I'd be so sad and upset. But my brother and SIL? Not a big deal.

    I have to agree with the pp who said babies have their own time schedule. As a mom of two, with one child born an entire month premature and the other one a day late...there are no guarantees that kid is coming out on March 10th and you will actually be gone on her baby's birthday.

    Oh and something else she doesn't realize...she isn't going to WANT a ton of people around right after the baby comes. It's exhausting enough being a new mommy. Being a new mommy and hostess when you are tired and feel uncomfortable and just generally discombobulated...it isn't fun.   

  • Seems like she is just overreacting.  You may very well be around when the baby is born anyway....almost no one that I know has had their baby on the day he/she was actually due.
