I am a 25-year-old parent of two little girls, ages 4 and 3, and am pregnant with twins. My DH is in the army and is currently away from home. So I am living with my two daughters, and my younger sister who is 16 years old. My mum lives with her mum and looks after her on the daily so I took in my little sister as she is a lovely teenager and it wasn't fair to be living with my mum when my mum was already looking after my nan. plus she keeps me company as DH is away!
Anyway, my sister is in her GCSE and her school is doing a walk-in where parents can look at their work. I love my sister and I think she really deserves someone to see her work as she is a brilliant student. This walk-in day is tomorrow.
My mother is telling me I have to go. But I have two young children that need to be looked after plus I'm heavily pregnant with twins?! I was expecting for my mum to go, it's the least she can do as she doesn't even live with her daughter.
But my mum is looking after my nan who is really really sick so I kinda understand where she is coming from! I really want someone to go this bloody walk-in as my sister really deserves it but I just don't know what to do!! I know it would really disappoint her if no one went.
Have no where to leave the kids, could bring them to my mum's but she grumbles so much when I do that as she has to look after three people and she can hardly balance that.
I am at such a loss what to do and avoiding my sister's questions about who's going to her school walk-in so she doesn't know I strongly don't feel like walking around being humiliated by school mums because I'm 25 and have four kids.
Either tell me to suck it up and bear it or help me out by giving advice?? Thank you x
