Right complicated one.
My mum is ill, phoned me earlier on and told me she had an asthma attack today (she has been asthmatic her whole life) and wants me to come round and generally look after her / make her feel better etc.
She has been seen by a doctor and is fine (no hospital trip etc.) and while she is feeling breathless still the asthma attack has stopped.
Also worth mentioning that my younger sister still lives at home and is with her at the moment (and will be all night) so she is not alone.
The problem is
a) It's valentines day obviously and me and my partner were planning on going for a meal (with her being heavily pregnant she has been feeling a bit fed up recently and could really do with the treat) and IS NOT impressed at the idea of this being cancelled.
b) I have a guest coming to stay for a few days who arrives tomorrow which means I have spent most of the day cleaning and getting everything ready for her to arrive. The house is a bomb site as we have just finished decorating so it took a lot of cleaning!
I have told my mum I cannot come as am too busy and will shortly be going out, she has put the phone down on me and is very annoyed.
I feel really guilty about not going but don't want to argue with my partner on valentines day over it (those pregnancy hormones are scary ) plus I really have got too much on.
AIBU to not go and visit her knowing she is ill?
