Just that really, I've never known such a selfish person in all my life. This is a bit of a rant so apologises but just don't have anyone to talk to.
So long story short, I've got court on the 11th of march I've got a court case for a non molestation order going through for a previous ex. That in itself is a long story but this is about how selfish my mum is. So asked my mum if she could have my daughter and youngest boy for me that day, she said she's working the night before and will need to sleep. She does 3 sometimes 4 nights a week. I said ok, my brother said he will have them for me means my youngest boy will have to be off school as I need to leave here at 8am to meet my solicitor for 9am as the hearing starts at 10am. He lives an hour and half away. That week my mums going to my brothers for her annual leave which is annoying as she said she was 'working' my brother says to her I'm having the kids for my sister so she can attend the court hearing she gets the ass says 'oh I wanted to spend the week with my son' 'why do you have to have the kids for her' 'oh I just won't come down then' my brother says she has no one else and needs to attend this important hearing mum it's only for a few hours in the morning then she will pick them up, plus your down the Monday anyways it's only a day, she moans about this even though they are her grandchildren mind but says ok, so I've also been really down and depressed which she knows I've been wanting to get back to work and trying to get a job that fits round the kids, anyways I've got an interview this Thursday for a job I used to do in the nhs which I loved, I had asked her ages ago if she would sit with the kids for two hours just so I can travel there and back and so I can attend the interview she says no I'm working the night before I was like ok. Anyways I find out she isn't working I ask her again and stressing to her that I really need to go to this interview and that it will really help me getting a job etc she agrees to do it.
Then this morning she messages me two days before the interview and says I'm not having the kids. Don't get me wrong I've managed to sort someone else out but I hate asking this person as they also have 4 children themselves, I had a pop at my mum because I'm just sick of never getting help from her, I understand that she works but it's for a job interview and I asked because of an important court case she never wants to help or try and support me she lives 10 mins away and I'm just so angry about it all because it's not so I can go away, or so I can get drunk or it's a date it's actually for things that are important and she can't do shit for me ever.
It's extremely lonely being on my own with 4 kids and I've even said to her how I'm feeling but she just doesn't want to ever help. I'm ranting because I've never known anyone soo fucking selfish in all my life, yes they are my kids but she's 10 mins away and it's for couple hours max!!!!
Please don't comment on this thread if you're going to make smart comments because they won't be taken so well. I just don't get why she don't want to help especially when she knows I struggle and have no one else to help me out ever. I'm always doing stuff for her taking her here and there, helping with forms and she also wants me to help with her passport but I've told her no I'm not doing anything anymore for her. She cancels me all the time last min too. I'm just so fed up of having family that just don't want to help me out. It's not even all the time I ask, I only ask if it's super important like these two things are. I don't even know why I'm posting I'm just ranting. I just think to myself why do I bother with her the woman don't do shit for me and all it is with her is drama anyways. Ergh rant over!
