my mum is driving me insane.... sorry bit long!!!

[humptyismarriedtoanumpty]

Have elective c-section booked for 2 weeks time, for dc3. My mum has offered to look after dd and ds so dh can come into hospital with me.
Mum been on phone 3 times yesterday and twice today and is driving me insane.
The baby is due on dd and ds's last day of term at pre=school and is the day of their easter egg hunt etc... I wanted them to go and enjoy their easter party etc and then for mum to bring them to meet new baby in the afternoon. My mum however has other ideas...
She wants to book into a travelodge near to the hospital (we live approx 45 mins away) and stay there with dd and ds until I get out of hospital.
I wanted things to be as normal as possible for them and thought that being in their own home etc with their own toys/dvds/park/favourite meals etc would be best to keep things normal for them, but for granny to look after them for a treat.
But my mum seems to think it would be better to stay for up to 3 nights in the travelodge and entertain them from there (they are 3 and 4 btw).
She asked me what I thought, I said, if it was me, I would stay home with them because they are more comfortable etc plus I find travelodge to be great for a night away, but hard work with kids, no space to run around, no toys, no proper food etc. But told mum if she wants to stay there then that's fine.
Dh ain't happy, especially because he is planning to come home each night and just spend time visiting me and new baby during the day. So will have dh at home, my kids in travelodge and me in hospital with new baby...
AIBU? Should I just let her get on with it or should I try to convince her to keep my kids at home?

Not petty at all! Add to that, your kids will be over tired and stressed out after being at the Travelodge for 3 nights too. They also may be very upset at going to see you in the hospital when visiting hours are over and they have go back to an unfamiliar, boring and drab hotel.
One more thought. Perhaps someone could take care of the kids on the Easter hunt day while you have the baby, so your mother can be at the hospital too? Then she can get a drive back home with your dp later that evening, and carry on taking care of everything at home the rest of the time? I have a feeling your mum would like to be with you.

UPDATE

Have spoken to mum today and tried to explain that dd in particular will be needing tlc and normality more than anything. Mum says she has now booked travelodge, but have managed to persuade her that if dh takes the kids home at night, mum can come sit with me in the hospital and I really told her I really wanted her to be with me.

Hopefully she has got the message without taking offence... I don't have the strength for a battle!!!

Kinda went well then. Any chance she could change the dates of booked room and maybe she could take the kids for a little weekend break a week or two later when things are more settled for everyone? That would be a nice treat for all involved

Thanks for the update, I hope it all works out for you.
