Frustrated with mom 😠

Elana

Soooo my mom won't go to my ultrasound appointments with me. I've been lucky enough to have an ultrasound at every appointment even though I'm not high risk, and I absolutely just love seeing my little girl get bigger and bigger. I really want my mom to come to one of the appointments with me, but she seems to have no interest 🙄

The backstory is, my appointments are kinda far away, only about 40 minutes but honestly it's nothing for me. For my MOM however she thinks 40 minutes in the car is like the absolute worst thing in the world. I'm hoping the reason she doesn't want to go is because she dreads the car ride too much (it's not that far but to her, a recovered agoraphobe, it's like going to the moon and back).

I know so many people have MILs and moms that want to go that they would rather not, and I know my mom is excited about the baby, and I KNOW that she's a recovered agoraphobe so it's a bigger deal to her than to most people, but man I just wish she would want to go. Even if she said "I would love to go but it's just too far" I would understand, but when I mention she is welcome to come she gets this weird look on her face and is like ummmmm naaah. Ugh. Rant over. Thank you for listening to me rant about my mother
