so proud of my mom

Someone else was asking about our moms and it just made me think about how proud I was of my mom today. We've had our share of issues and for a variety of reasons me and my husband don't want anyone in the delivery room. She asked if she could be there and I told her waiting room yes, delivery room no. She asked again yesterday (I'm almost 39wks). I told her no (again) as nicely as I know how and she just said 'okay, I probably won't try to be at the hospital while you're delivering then. It hurts my feelings, but okay'. I can't even tell you how low drama this is for my mom. I was in shock. For her to use words and not tears. For her to own her feelings and not try to make it my fault or shortcoming or crime against human decency. I have seen other posts about this conflict with mothers and mother-in-laws and estranged fathers (of the baby). I had to share - my mom reacted so much better than I hoped. I think she might be growing!
