Had a fight with my parents Vent

Happy mother's day. Blaaaaaa

     A little background. I am hormonal and tired and having a bad week. My dog is sick but on the mend, been in varying degrees of physical, emotional discomfort and stress related to pg and an impending induction and etc.

    My parents informed me a few days ago that they were too busy watching my brothers kids and their other various commitments to be able to make it right away to help when I go into labor. I was sort of counting on them for help with dog meds and mil care in addition to general new baby care. I was disappointed but  I found back up in my awsome neighbors and my family pulled together.

    Yesterday I get a call from my parents announcing they are comming to check on me. I sounded stressed and unhappy when we last talked so they were comming to help. My aunt K and 2 cousins pitched in with baby sitting and various other stuff so they could come bright and early Friday.

     My parents did not leave for my house until late afternoon. (2 hour drive) I guess dad felt he needed to do some gardening. They asked if we would make dinner for them because they were running so late. Ok so we made a nice bar b q for them no big deal. Had a nice chat with them over dinner last night. They left right after dinner to go get settled in their hotel room.

     They were supposed to return for breakfest in the morning no earlier thsan 9 or ten. Anyway at 11:50 on my way to acypuncture we called them to give them a heads up we were off to acupuncture and would be back in an hour. MIL was at the house if they went by.

     After our apt we called again and they were shopping at the gilroy outlets about 35 min from my house. OK we asked them to call us when they were done. This was like at 1ish. We did not see them untill 6pm.

     I wish I had better parents.

    Did they at least get you or the baby anything at the outlets?

    Thanks for the hug :)

    Nope nothing for us at the outlets. Dad needed new shoes and pants. Mom needed some clothes too. Actually I do not have any problem with  shopping. I even hoped they would relax this trip. Just the lack of communication and the bragging to my various family members about how they were comming to check on me. They suck and they just dont get it.

    They left pouting that I was mad and being unreasonable and hormonal.

    My Dh and mil rocks though!! Both totaly backed me up on not making dinner for them . My parents may never get it but at least my chosen family does. We are going to meet my parents for brunch and try to smooth things over tomorrow.

    Well, I hope you have a better Mother's Day and no more drama this week.  All you should have to worry about is yourself and that little girl who will soon be in your arms.
