Call me entitled but I would feel shocked if my mom wouldn't want to come and help her freaking daughter who is birthing her third grandchild because..what? it's her shift at the community library? flower arranging class? WTH? [b]What could she possibly be volunteering with that's more important than family? [/b]

I don't get that.[/quote]

Why is it that that only works one way--when kids want something from parents? Sounds like this mom built a life for herself after her kids left home and is not emotionally dependent upon her children (hoe often do we here bitching about clingy parents on this site!).  Just as all of you adult children cannot drop everything to be everything for your parents, your parents cannot drop everything for you.[/quote]
I do drop everything when my parents need something serious. The daughter isn't having a nervous breakdown because Neiman Marcus doesn't have the right dress in her size. She is having a child, the mother's grandson and she needs help. This is serious. Mom needs to help. If she was sick, that's fine but for the volunteering? VOLUNTEERING??? Who needs help more than daughter?

Don't understand this.[/quote]
