Just when you think it's about to be smooth sailing.......BAM!

I went to my pre-op class today and got all the information I needed for surgery Nov. 5th. I needed to get babysitting so went next door and asked my neighbors if they could watch the kids because Bianca (my daughter) will be at the hospital with me all day and three kids with her would just be too much.They said it wouldn't be no problem and I just waited for my daughter to come so I can let her know the details of next week.

Well......she came in and told her that she signed up for school, it's from 9am til 2pm and she needed my help for the next two weeks. I asked her when did the classes start, she told me Monday. What!!!!!! :blink: I asked her how the f%ck was I getting to surgery on Tuesday? She asked what time was my surgery, then said she would drop me off (she doesn't even know that my stuff is suppose to stay in the car until I get a room). She left out after that and when I went to the store with her baby she decided to go hang out. That's children for ya!

I am so upset that I can't even see straight. If the shoe was on the other foot I would be expected to bust my %ss so I could be there...why?....cause i'm her mother? I was told to go talk to her about her classes, she said she forgot the date (I just gave her the date thursday October 24th). I asked could she change her class, she said that she would call and try but she's not trying to wait 9 months for a class to start. I told her that I've been working on this for 7 months.....then added "it seems like she just wants to see me stay fat!" she claimed it's not that....I just walked off.

This is straight bull and I don't know what i'm going to do, if I have to i'm just going to drive myself and let that be that. I went through too many humps to get here just to let it fall by the wayside by an inconsiderate child.

Just needed to get this off my chest.

Sigh...

Girlfriend you find someone to look after them babies while you are gone and the rest is a wrap. I speak from experience. Both my parents are dead and gone god bless their souls. I have no husband, no children and a brother and a half sister who both live in my city but are self absorbed. I prepped my home for surgery the weeks leading up to it by doing laundry, changing sheets and shopping for post op things like broth, jello, etc... I packed my bag for the hospital and drove my self there. Hell, I even arranged to have flowers delivered to myself. I arrived and was asked a million times "who's here with you?" my response was "no one, please make sure my bags are brought up with me after surgery and in case of emergency call my brother" Sometimes you just gotta do what needs to be done help or no help. My brother did drive me home from the hospital but just in case I had cab fare on hand too! Shoot, people always think they need to be flanked by a bunch of family in the hospital.

I am glad you were able to get things sorted out. It's also good that you have developed contingency plans. As others have posted, you can always have a cab take you there and home if anything falls through.

My only suggestion would be more for your daughter. If she would like to be there but doesn't think she has any option except dropping the class and waiting a semester or more to take it, she could contact the instructors she has and explain that class day no 2 falls on your surgery day. She could ask if it was permissible to miss the day and get her assignments. Most instructors/professors are understanding of these types of circumstances and are willing to make allowances for their students. This way she can be with you without delaying her education. It's just a suggestion, though. You know your daughter better than anyone and I certainly wouldn't want you to mention it to her if you think it wouldn't help.

I wish you the best!

Just a thought. Let her live her life and u figure out how to live yours at some point "us" Moms have todo for ourselves first and stop enabling others to misuse us.

For you and Lipstick Lady let me say this: this is the Rant board and that's what I did.....after that I figured it out, so it was already over before either one of ya'll put your 2 cents in. If I was asking 'should I be upset' then ya'll words would be welcomed, but I Didn't, so your words aren't that.....welcomed.

Why go on and debate with anyone so close to their date (that's rheoterical). Just let it go.

That was just my plan before I told my neighbors about my situation and they stepped up. I had no problem driving myself. People take one sentence and run with it. Thanks for your reply.
