Drama with my mother (long post)

Autumn • 💓💓💙

Just need to vent!!

Sorry it's kind of long!

So I'm being induced next Tuesday! My mother wants to be there while I'm in labor and while I deliver. My boy friend and I both don't mind if she is. Well I have to be at the hospital at 6am that morning. I called her and let her know. She then tells my boyfriend that we better be picking her up!! So I tell her that we aren't picking her up. We live 30-40 minutes from the hospital and I drive a Navigator (which drinks a lot of gas) and my boyfriend isn't leaving the hospital to take her home. They have 2 cars at her house. My dad's car and my NaNa's car, I told her she could have one of them bring her. I don't feel like it's right to ask my boyfriend to leave the hospital and drive 40 minutes to her house and 40 minutes back to the hospital just to take her home when they have 2 cars! Just so she doesn't have to pay for gas or to park at the hospital. She freaked out on me and said that's fine she just won't be there! She then tells my NaNa that she feels like I'm just trying to push her out of the delivery of my daughter. She was not in the room when I delivered my first daughter 11 years ago and has never let me forget it.

She said I always pick everyone else over her.

My dad even told her he would being her and pick her up. But she cussed him out about it.

I personally dont feel like I'm in the wrong!

I would love my mom to be there and even said I can pick her up on the way to the hospital but that he was not going to be able to take her home. She could ask my sister or my aunt or dad to take her home. But she doesn't want to bother them. She tho is since we are having the baby we should be responsible for taking her home.

She also thinks it's stupid that my boyfriend doesn't want to leave the hospital until me and the baby are released. I don't think it is. Why should he? He doesn't want to drive the 40 minutes home just to turn around again. And he doesn't want to leave me there alone.

And one more thing she thinks it wrong that I'm letting my almost 11 year old be at the hospital with us for a few hours while I'm in labor. Then she will be going home with my SIL. I don't see why I can't let my daughter be involved if she wants to be. She has begged me to let her be there.

What do you think?

Sorry it was so long! I don't really have anyone to vent to!
