Genuinely want to know if I am or if I am being over emotional and over reacting??
Quick background H and I been together 10 years now seperated after his affair 18 months ago but fairly amicable (now) we have 2 DD age 6 and 10 weeks....have always tried to keep good relationship with MIL and thought I did - she adores DD1 and previously has helped out a lot looking after her especially when I worked full time when she was tiny (for which I am very grateful)...
I buy all birthday mothers day xmas cards and presents invite for xmas lunch go visit with Dc etc etc
DD2 was admitted to hospital last Sunday with septicaemia and was very ill for few days we just came home from hospital yesterday and am feeling understandably wobbly and baby still quite unsettled with diarrhoea....H has done his usual and disappeared to pub (we don't live together)...managed to sort DD1 out this week with help from my friends and H doing his bit and didn't need to ask MIL to help too much (I know she doesn't like running about and DD1 has swimming rainbows etc)...
Anyway got home and feeling quite unsettled DD1 has 2 activities tomorrow (which she loves) and really don't think baby is up to being shlapped around in and out of car so ring MIL to ask if she would mind helping out (I hate asking for help and usually get on with it but am still worried about baby not 100%)....so was gobsmacked when she said no can't help got to go shopping (to tescos not a major planned outing) - she didn't even ask how baby was how I was and TBH didn't offer to help at all when we came home on thur .....am feeling quite upset let down and hurt especially as I feel I have made a huge effort to keep everything amicable when H and I split so she continues to have a good relationship with her GC.....
