Am i being totally unreasonable here... i can't seem to let go of the fact that i'm hurt that my parents in law went on holiday for two weeks not long before my due date. I moved to live where my partner is from so they know that my family and close friends aren't near (2 hrs drive away) Being my second baby i was terrified i would go into labour early and scared it'd be a quick birth... i was also worried who'd look after my dd who was still only little and never been away from me for more than a couple of hours... also my partner travels around with his job so never knew how far from home he'd be.. My PIL are retired and being 40 mins away are the nearest family i have. I can't believe they went away and left me feeling so stressed out at the end of my pregnancy, this was a time i needed to know i had them to call on to help... They're always saying now 'if there's anything we can do to help just say' but i don't feel like asking them because they weren't here when i needed them more than ever.. Before they went my MIL said i needed her they'd come back from Spain!! what the hell like that would have helped if i'd gone into labour.. It's also made me feel they weren't that bothered if they were here or not for the birth of my baby... They are nice people but i can't help feeling so upset i wish i could move past this..
