My kids are sick and my mom is coming from PA to watch them because DH and I both have important meetings tomorrow.  She’s driving 6 hours and doing us a huge favor.

BUT

There’s a bad history between my mom and me.  She was physically and emotionally abusive and allowed my dad to be sexually abusive (I told her, asked for help; she blamed me).

My kids are very irritable and can’t go 5 minutes without fighting.  I texted my mom to let her know what she’s walking into.  She texted me back, “Be a mom.”  This is normal for her, but it always hurts.  I just have to ignore it.  Confronting it blows things up.

BUT!  I AM a mom. I have been caring for sick kids and in and out of the urgent care all weekend.  The kids are starting to feel better and are playing with each other a bit, hence the fighting.  Hopefully they can go back to school Wednesday or Thursday and get away from each other.

Thanks for reading.  I needed to vent. I can’t stand my mom but I need her help sometimes.  We have no family here and no close friends.
