DD4 starts nursery on Wednesday ,she will be there half a day then all day Thurs and Fri.

This will be the first time in I don't know how long I will have anytime just for me and it will be until May and then I will have a newborn I am really looking forward to just sleeping been able to potter around ,have a bath alone go to the library and actually look for a book instead of a snatch and run just do some things alone .

I am not selfish I do everything all the time for people especially my Mum who thinks I am at her beck and call I can't say no when someone asks for a favour but this time I am determined to .

She wants me to take my Grandma supermarket shopping with her every Thursday I have been loads of times before dragging dd with me and it takes up the full morning ,then i just know that Mum will except me to go and do things at her house like sort out her computer ,fill out her forms etc etc .

She moans because she works but she has Thursdays ,mondays ,and Sundays off plus she could ask my lazyarse brother to go with her who is 18 and stays in bed all day ,I told her yesterday but she thinks I am joking ,I'm not been evil am I ??? This is coming from a woman who has never been alone for ages am I cruel to want two days a week to myself ?

YANBU. You have 5 dc, and another on the way. This is the only time in ages you will have to yourself, and it is only until May.

You deserve a rest. Your mum sounds a bit self obessed tbh.

Your mum sounds very very selfish.
