Fed up... unreliable family!

in May 2015 Moms
I'm 38 weeks, and really feeling done with this awaiting every day. I can't wait for this part to be over with now.
I have 2 boys already, and my sister is supposed to be on stand by to take them when I have to go into hospital as she is the only person who stays in the same town as I do. However she doesn't answer her phone even nearly half of the time.
Becoming really concerned to what's actually gonna happen, anyone else have these kinds of issues?

Sorry for the ranting!! :(

    Not the same issue but my DH works shift and has a night shift tonight and tomorrow and he's going! I'm 38+3 4 cm dilated and thinned out and my doctor said i would deliver this week, he takes time off when he doesn't feel like going in but now when i could go into labour?!

    Anyway, i would start working pn a plan B! Any friends who can take your boys if she doesn't answer? If not ask your hospital if they have a kid's room Where they can be ait till you're done, hopefully she'll pick up by then

    Aww I feel for you, does your husband work far away from where you live? Hope everything goes ok for you. Good luck :)

    Do you have a neighbor that you trust to come and get your kids while your sister gets there?
    Maybe someone can come and stay with your kids at your home for an hour or two in the meantime.

    Bringing them to the hospital might be an option too but you never know how long you will labor. You could go very quickly.

    I'm planning on packing a bag for each of my kids to give to a friend when I drop the kids off at her house. A set of school clothes, a pair of pajamas, underwear, socks, a little gift from the baby and some snacks. That way I can just run out the door and pull the packs out of the closet on my way.

    I hope this helps.

    I hope your sister pulls her stuff together and helps you when you need it most.

    My DH's family is unreliable as well. His dad lives in NM and we live in IA but his dad is very inconsistent on what he says he will do and what he actually does. He came back in May of 2012 for our wedding...which he was late for and missed photos. But said he was coming back in august that year and we didn't see him again for almost two years. Now he said he was coming back for Christmas this past year and decided to come back in May since we are having a baby. Supposedly he is coming back Mother's Day weekend but I am not putting any bank on that. I just can't believe him and hate that he practically lies to his son. I don't want to have to explain that to my child. She deserves more than that. Now DH's mom says that I can't deliver on May 7th which is my due date because she is going to a baseball game. One that is rude and two this is her sons first child and she is going to chance missing that for a freaking baseball game?!?! His whole family is so inconsistent and it makes me feel so bad for him. I don't know what to do because they are all so selfish.

    That totally sucks, maybe it's best you don't see him often since he seems so unreliable. As for being told ur not allowed to go ur due date, my Mum has said the same as my parents are going away on a trip the day after my due date.
    Screw them all we will all manage just fine haha

    How long does it take for her to get back to you?  If not a ton of time I would maybe let her know as soon as you think you are in labor this way if she doesn't call you back its not that you need her immediately. That's really annoying that she doesn't answer but I do that a lot because i forget where my phone is.  I would also maybe mention it to her how you are concerned.

    Yeah, have you tried talking with her? Give her a "Look, I could go into labor any time and I need you! Have your phone on you and turned on at all times, and if you see it's me, ANSWER no matter what!"

    Oh I've tried talking to her about the importance and she says all the right things but when it comes to it she still never answers. I called today to ask if she wanted a visit. She then didn't answer and didn't get in touch till 4 hours later via Facebook message asking if I'm OK!! Total pain in the ass!

    Maybe she's missing the call, but listening to the message and not getting back to you right away because it's not super important? Can you text her instead and is she better about those? That way, she would be able to see immediately if you are in labor and respond accordingly.
