[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP that you are in this position. If you were my friend I would totally reach out and help you if I knew your husband was in the hospital. Do you have friends you can lean on, ask to bring your dinner, watch your kids??? Often people want to help, but don't know how and are very happy to do so when asked to do something specific.

As for your mother, I feel the same way to a certain extent of the baby boomer generation as well. My parents have hugely disappointed me over the last 15 years in how much they expect from my siblings and I in terms of financial and moral support and then show no gratitude or interest in their grandchildren.  It sucks. Asking my parents for help, which is rare, like once every 5 years rare for an emergency, comes with so many condition and requirements of what they need, but in return they have no problem saying some pretty rude stuff when they want something in return.  My FIL is the exact same way, so it isn't just my parents. My siblings have the same complains, so it isn't just me.  I don't know, it can really suck sometimes, actually lots of times.[/quote]
