To not take my mum around town?

[morecoffeepleas]

I've been having growth scans every week baby is due in two weeks.
Mum has been coming with me because OH is at work and I need her to watch ds as he can't come into scans.

Every time we leave the hospital she suggests that we do something today was "can we just pop into town so I can go new look because I need some sandals". Sandals in this weather?

I'm absolutely knackered so I need to know if I'm being unreasonable.

There are a few here who would love to spend some time with their mums at shops, myself included.
I also saw that a PP said her FIL keeps wanting the DH to stay and have a drink with him.
It came to my mind that maybe the DM of OP and the FIL of PP are feeling lonely and I wonder how that can be as DM of OP has a daughter and grandchild and FIL of PP has a son and daughter in law.
Might be time to think about if the older generation are lonely. There is a lot of talk about loneliness just now.

YABU.
i was having bi-monthly growth scans, couldn't walk much as i had a horrible trapped nerve in my bum, still took mum to town after appointments as i knew if i was too tired (which i always was) i could just sit in costa with a hot choc and a magazine. I always took mum but i never put pressure on myself to walk and accompany her unless i really felt like i could.
The walking helps bring labour on too (apparantly).
I managed to go shopping in m&s at 40 weeks, lady asked when i was due and i said 'im due today actually!'.
I guess everyones relationship with their mum is different. I think YABU but im biased due to how i am with my own mum.

I agree with stillme parents might just need a bit of company, I do think on a whole society is becoming more and more insular and that is sad .

Totally understand that people can't live their lives as though they're about to lose someone. I just think sometimes we need to be grateful for what we are lucky to have. If OP is uncomfortable, then very understandable not to want to go, maybe ask to go home and sit down for a cuppa and a natter instead :)
