Bad news on top of bad news.....vent
My stepdad has raised me since I was 8mons old. He and my mom divorced when I was 21. Needless to say his family, has been my family my entire life and always treated me as family. I consider him my dad. I still keep in touch with them but my mother doesn't. Well, my Grandpa (stepdad's dad) died this morning and my mother decided to tell me.....via text. WTF?
Then I go to my OB appointment today, I'm a fingertip dilated, 75% effaced and the doctor said that I'm really narrow and she is starting to doubt that I will be able to push LO out if she gets any bigger. I'm terrified of the "big C" and she seemed pretty confident that if LO doesn't come out soon on her own that more than likely that will be the route we have to take. 
So, I'm telling my mother this and all she has to say is she doesn't know if she will even come over for the birth because her & her boyfriend are sharing a car right now. I tell her she could get a ride with my brother and she started him-hawing about how unreliable he is. Then starts biitching to me about how my brother is rude to her boyfriend.
Who wants to hear about a death via text message, for one? Plus, when I'm telling her about how I'm scared to have a c-sec and she finds a way to bring it back to be about her and her boyfriend. (Who she was having an affair with and that's why her and my dad are divorced) I just want to tell her to grow up and don't even bother showing up for the birth!! UGH! End vent...whoever read all that is a champ by the way...

Uh, yeah. Death announcement via text is crappy. Your mom sounds like a "me me me" person, which totally gets on my nerves. She sucks for using the lame no-car excuse as her reason for missing your baby's birth. All around sucky. You should just tell her to stay at home, so she can't irritate you while you're in labor. I'm sorry!
Thank you all for the kind words and reading my long vent! I should be used to her selfish ways but she never ceases to amaze me. I felt bad worrying about myself and my doctor appointment when someone in the family has passed, but she seemed like she couldn't care less about either and had no tact about it what-so-ever. So annoying...
My grandpa died in Iowa at my uncles but they are going to cremate him and bring him back to oregon this summer so we can spread his ashes in the ocean like we did with my grandma. My half-brother and I are trying to lean on eachother and just decided to leave my mom out of the situation.
