I love my mum very much but I feel a little bit sad that she doesn't offer to help a little bit more with lo.
She feels that she has raised her family (which I totally respect) and as such it is a huge stretch to babysit, she has done so if lo is in bed and after being 'paid with a spa day' has agreed to look after lo while we attend a wedding next month, the wedding is 2 hours drive away so we will drive up in the morning and be back for around 11, she will not look after lo overnight and we will be expected to get up with him in the morning (usually 6am)
I feel a little bit sad as my cousins parents all offer to babysit regularly, would have said oh stay overnight and enjoy the day rather than being made feel guilty about Abandoning our child for the day.
Sorry I know I'm probably BU as she is under no obligation to help and so we would be grateful for any help we are getting, it just hurts a bit, especially as she looks after my cousins from time to time so their parents can have a night out/weekend away.
