now i've done it :(

I posted yesterday about my mother nagging me over the phone.  Well today, I couldn't help myself.

She calls my office- My boss answers. She gets all excited.  I pick up the line and she said that she was all excited and I finally said.... MOTHER I WILL CALL YOU IF SOMETHING HAPPENS.  Well I guess that pissed her off.  She has NO idea that her phone calls were stressing me out and I finally told her about it.  I told her that I felt that I was dissappointing her by not having the baby yet and that I have NO control over when he will be born.  I apologized to her numerous times but I don't think she accepted it.

I feel compelely awful about it, but this has been building up inside and I couldn't handle it anymore.

No flames please- just getting this off my chest.  Vent over.

    I think I probably would have done the same thing.

    Sometimes ya just have to do it so they learn boundaries.

    Calling your office (if you didn't say it was ok prior) is nuts! That's what voicemail is for.

    Give it a day, then call your mom just to chat.  Maybe that will make her feel better?  She probably just wants to be included in what is going on, even if it's nothing. :)

    This is why I'm glad we live 12+ hours away from our families.. They arent going to be at the hospital when he is born, so there is no need for them to bug us once it gets closer to that time. The only thing we're getting bugged about is when and how long they can come down to visit. My answer has been the same since day one: Lets see how it goes.

    I can't believe I am working either!  I have to save my vacation for my maternity leave.  HOWEVER- tomorrow is my last day!  My induction is scheduled for Monday morning, so lets hope he comes sooner than that.

    This exactly. I have some people in my life that don't listen when your nice about things. It's like you have to hurt their feelings for them to get it. Don't feel too bad, she's your mom, she'll bounce back :)

    Pretty sure I would have done the same thing. Being a women that has had a child she should know that the baby will come when he's ready... she should have never been pushing you in the first place.

    None if it will matter in a few days anyhow when he's finally here, the anxiety will all blow over and you will both forget it ever happened.

    I wouldn't stress it.  You have apologized.  As another poster said, this will blow over as soon as your child is born.

    I snapped at my MIL too last weekend.  We all have our moments when we can't take it anymore.  I'm sure she will understand.

    That would drive me insane. I can see my mother doing the same thing!  When I get closer to my due date, I may start sending her daily emails that just say "No baby yet."

    I feel your pain.  I have been really short fused towards my mom lately for the same reason.  I can't handle the text/calls every day, particularly when my due date isn't until sunday & I fully expect to go past it.  I know they're just excited but it's still hard to tolerate!
