no support!

I am sick to my stomach by the way my moms been acting...im 7 months pregnant and not even once had she asked me how my baby is doing or call me to see if I need anything...and when she does call me its because she needs something...she didnt even try to throw me a baby shower, my friend and I are planning it...when I told her that she told me she would make the food for it, later on I found out shes not even making it, my step dad is which hes been more supportive than her! But god forbid she had her friends over shell cook for them! She told me just the other day that shes inviting like 10 people to my shower and only 2 of them are people I actually know...like why does she want to invite all these people if shes not even helping...shes been acting so selfish the other night I found out she went to NYC for 2 days with her friends and left my little sister sick at home with my step dad which he had to take off from work so he could stay with her...im disgusted by her actions and honestly I dont even think I want her at my shower...why should she be there she has not been supportive this whole time or am I wrong?

It can be really tuff, but don't worry about what she does. Its you and your baby. Focuse on what you want to do, if she going to a wrong path led her with advice and walk away. Im sorry to hear that she isn't being supportive. Invite whoever you want to come. Don't let her know about it. Goodluck

I agree with Ellen. Enjoy this time with the rest of your friends and family. Just try not to stress to much and think about all the positives in your life.

I've disowned my mother since I've been pregnant due to her drama and her hating my bf of 7 years lol. Use your mother's actions as tips for what to not do to your children! Good luck and do what makes you happy!

I'm sorry to hear she is acting this way.  Sometimes it's best to let them be.  Some people don't know how to Focus on surrounding yourself with everything positive for you and baby's sake. I know it isn't right of her to act like this but you have a bigger picture to be concerned with. I haven't talked to my parents over a petty blow up since August. They've missed out on most of my pregnancy and I see it as their loss not mine. They are stressful to be around anyways. I'm sure you have some family and friends who support you and will help make this a wonderful experience regardless.
