NBR: I love my mom!

litzo27 · November 2013

I go on overnight work trips several times a year. While I really appreciate that DH can handle the boys by himself I always sigh coming home to a sink full of dishes, clothes and toys strewn about, etc. Well, my mom came over to help him out yesterday evening while I was gone (she lives 3 hours away). I finally got home at midnight, exhausted, and walked in to a sparkling kitchen, stocked fridge, folded laundry and a clean house. And this morning she entertained them and fed them so I could sleep in. I think I ugly cried a bit when I told her how much easier she makes my life whenever she is around. Ok, AWing over. I can only hope to grow up like mom

Moms always come to the rescue you really need them right? Even if DH is flakey I know I can count on my mom!

My mom and I have a complicated relationship, but the little things she sometimes does to show that she cares are so wonderful. She's 4 hours away and if I'm being honest, I know I will wish she is closer once LO comes for reasons like those you stated above.

Aw! That was super sweet and awesome of her. I'm glad you got some help

Moms are the best. I wish I didn't have to move so far away from mine right after becoming pregnant!

That is so sweet. Sometimes it's nice to have our moms take care of us even when we are grown!

My mom is 5 hours away and is planning on coming to help for a few weeks when DD is born. Well, DD is looking like she may arrive on or before Christmas, and my mom works in retail and isn't allowed any extra time off during that time. She told me that if the baby comes, she's telling them too bad, and coming to help anyway, even if that means she doesn't have a job to come back to. I know my mom is awesome, but sometimes I can't believe how truly blessed I am to have such an awesome mom.

(Disclaimer: she works part time, as kind of a way to give her something to do now that she is an empty nester. If she actually relied on the income, I would definitely not be ok with her leaving work)
