[quote=Anonymous]OP again- so my questions were:
1. Am I wrong to feel hurt? 
It looks like the majority of people think that I shouldn't feel slighted that she said no she couldn't help because it would interfere with a volunteer social plan that she could change.
2. Should I talk to her about how her choice made me feel?
No, because I am being a brat for wanting my mom with me at what I believe will be a tough time.
I guess I will just move on an say, "Ok, we will be happy to see you when you are able to come". I do a lot on my own and have asked for help from her exactly 3 times in the last 10 years- the birth of my first- she did come for a week- a time when my sister had a real emotional trauma and I asked her to come and help me support her through a really difficult tragedy- she was on a two month trip and said she couldn't change her travel plans and this week that I asked for help after delivering #3. I didn't even ask her to help after number two because I had a nanny at the time- she came to see baby after about a month when she didn't have anything going on. I CAN hire help and will do that- but I hope when my children have a need that I will do everything possible to be there for them and will treasure those times where it isn't just about helping out it is about showing someone that you value them and WANT to the be the person that they can count on no matter what.
