Irritated.

I'm due May 7th however I am going in for a scheduled C-section April 30.

Now when I had first gotten pregnant, I knew I'd be scheduling a C-section therefore, I asked my mom if she would be able to watch my son and daughter while I was at the hospital. She said yes. Well, 2 weeks ago my doctor told me the date that she'd like to schedule my surgery for and whatnot. I told my mom and everything was good. Then we were talking last week or so and she was like well, it's on a Monday so is there any way that my mil would be able to get that day off because although she can take the time off, she doesn't get paid for it and then she would pick them up when she got off of work and so I had assumed that meant they would be staying with her the rest of my stay at the hospital. We asked my MIL and she said she would put in the request. Then today I was talking to my mom again and she was like so are they staying with my MIL or with her and I was confused since I thought we already figured it out. Anyway, I said that my MIL said she would take them Sunday night before I had to go in so we didn't have to wake them up at 4am to bring them over and then they would stay with her until my mom got out of work and then they would spend the rest of the time at her house. She then says if she has to, she'll have my stepdad take off of work which he also doesn't get paid for if he takes the day off. Anyway, I told her I'd see if my MIL was able to get the day off and she says okay and then tells me it wouldn't kill me to stay by myself at the hospital.

and no it wouldn't and if that's what has to happen then that's what I'll do but it just upsets me that way back when I was only 2-3 months she agreed she would watch them and I had checked with her multiple times throughout the entire pregnancy and she continued to say she would and now all of a sudden, a month and half before I'm meant to go in she's not wanting to do it anymore.

I get that she doesn't get paid if she takes the days off but I just wished she would've said something ahead of time and not waited until we're practically a month away. not to mention that her and my stepdad both have taken multiple days off just because they didn't want to go in to work.

I don't know maybe I'm just being overly emotional. I just wish she wouldn't have waited until now to decide she wasn't going to be watching them leaving me

to rush into making completely new plans.

ps, sorry this is practically a novel.
