Ok so I am wondering, after everything I have been through the last couple of days, major surgery having a baby, complications, fussy baby, and dealing with a ten years old that has ADHD and super hyper....I wondering if I am just being a cry baby in wanting my mom to pitch in to help me out. Well the issue goes something like this...
My mom is turning 60 this Sunday and my sister is throwing her a 60th b-day party. As you all know my mom has been staying with me the last couple of weeks to help out and it has been great. However, I feel like its the wrong time to be throwing a party in the middle of everything that has been going on. My sister and I had discussed she would plan this party later in the month to wait until I got better and things sort of settle down for me. Well, that;s not the case now and she has decided to throw the party this weekend. She is taking my mom from Wed-Sat in preparation for the party. Ok that's fine cool and dandy but that leaves me with no HELP AT ALL. I am still having trouble getting around especially getting in and out of bed and picking up the baby on my own. It feels like my recovery is taking for ever so having my mom around to help would be nice. I can only come down the stairs once per day and if my mom isn;t here I feel like I am going to go insane with the baby and being in the house by myself. Between breatpumping, getting my stepson ready in the morning for school, cleaning bottles, and tending to the baby I don't know if I can make it. Or maybe I am not giving myself enough credit that I can probably doing on my own.
Am I being selfish in not letting my mom enjoy herself these couple of days b/c I'm being insecured about my mothering abilities or is my sister crazy for planning this party now knowing I need mom's help? I feel like my sister is not being considerate of the situation and is doing it just to **** me off.
