Dropped in the s***

[Lollipop306]

Mum told me when we were trying to conceive, during pregnancy and throughout my WHOLE maternity leave that she would help out and care for my child/her grandson two days a week when I return to work.

Now a month to go, she has decided that offer is no longer on the table and I'm absolutely livid she has waited until now to change her mind/tell me (even though she said she thought about it back at Christmas).

FULLY DROPPED ME IN THE SHIT with little time to find alternative arrangements.

Before anyone starts I know she's not "obliged" to look after him but she thinks I'm being unreasonable to be pissed off??

She has let you down do not rely on family to do child care as they change their mind don't be angry as it's ure child look up child care for baby and costs u may get help towards this and nursery won't let u down and don't fall out with mum yes ure angry but even the best plan worked out when getting pregnant can have faults and not go the way you planned so change it but do remember that mum has let u down xx

Thanks everyone. We've met with two Childminder's. One of which I LOVED. Still going to look about in the time we have but I think we will end up with the lady I met yesterday x

Glad you sorted it OP.

Is your mum ill or does she worry about coping . Please ask her before you lose it with her .Mums are human too
