[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could have called and asked her to babysit if you thought it was YOUR place so much. But you didn't feel the need to sit with him, until you heard that she had. Stop competing and be thankful he has family to look after him as well. [/quote]
I didn't call and ask because I found out at 9pm that he was there, and she's, like I said, 1.5 hours away! And like I said, I WOULD have gone up, but I didn't see the need to inconvienence people for a non-emergency.

I'm not upset, but like one PP said, yes, it would have been thoughtful of her to just ASK if I cared to go up there. [/quote]

Your MIL did nothing wrong, Op.  Calling you late at night to find out if you wanted to go to the hospital to sit with your husband in a non-emergency situation would have come across as super pushy on her part.  If you had wanted her help YOU should have asked her for it.  Or if your husband had wanted you to be there with him at the hospital instead HE should have arranged for his mom to go to your house to watch the kids.

I didn't want her help. I would have said no, and went to bed. I wouldn't have cared less if she went herself, and I really don't care that she did. All I was wondering if it was weird for a mom to drive 1.5 hours at 9pm for this reason. Now I see it wasn't, and I'm over it.

Thank you![/quote]

For someone who doesn't care you sure are posting about it a lot!  Which shows that you do care.  I think it was of MIL and you should thank her for taking care of DH not bitch and moan about how weird you think it is.[/quote]
