To be a bit pissed off with my mum

...who was meant to look after my kids tomorrow as I have a job interview, but instead is prioritising a night out tonight and can't have them first thing as she'll be drinking?!

I am really going to struggle to get anyone to have them now (as if I need that stress now, when k thought it was all sorted!)

Am I being a spoilt ungrateful cow to think as she said she can have them, she should perhaps control herself tonight and not have too much to drink?

Argh! Please tell me if I'm being U so I can calm down!

If she had agreed to have them but now changed her mind and decided to get drunk YANBU.

She will be drinking in the morning???

BlackholesAndRevelations · 15/05/2012 09:05

Grin squeakytoy! I think she just decided she wants to drink so much that she'll be too hangover to have them.

Am I boring or something to be able to say, "I'm having my baby and toddler tomorrow so will only have a couple" and still have a good time?! FFS.

that is really unfair of her, if she has already said she could have them.

I mean, I am guessing the job interview is fairly important? its not as if its a hair appointment or some fun thing for you, that you can reschedule.

YANBU

Your mother is letting you down. It's a shame that she is prioritising having a piss-up over helping her daughter go to a job interview.

Thank you for making me feel less of a cow! She is letting me down but will wait til I can be more rational before telling her so Angry Sad

It is an important interview and I could do with some support from my nearest and dearest...

I would be incredibly annoyed in your position. Does she know how important the interview is? Does her not having the kids mean you might not be able to make it?

YANBU. not at all.

If and when you find a job I strongly advise you not to rely on any offers of childcare from your mother. She obviously cannot be relied upon.
