[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be in a blind fury at my mother for this (former trial lawyer here). My mother did things like this when my kids were younger. Unfortunately, you have come to the realization that your mom is not there for you anymore--if indeed she ever was. [/quote]

Maybe this means that trial lawyers are especially entitled who feel like the world and their parents owe them something?

I am not a trial lawyer.  I have a fantastic relationship with my parents and my MIL.  They are all wonderful grandparents, but they all live quite a distance away.  They did their duty to us raising us to adulthood, provided us with good educations so that we could get good paying jobs and be self-supportive.  My spouse and I have a nice HHI and probably make a lot less than you trial lawyers and we never have any expectations of childcare from our parents.  When they come and visit, we still have our regular childcare plans in place.  The grandparents can opt to keep the kids home from daycare/preschool, if they choose, but we continue with our regular schedule if they don't.  Any childcare that these grandparents provide is at their option, not as a request from us.  As such, all three grandparents have a happy, healthy relationship with their children and their grandchildren.

So, OP, what would you have done originally for your trial had your mother not been available to come to stay?  Let's say you had hired a PT nanny and she had been in a car accident and no longer available, what would you a have done then?  I can't imagine that a trial lawyer can't call White House Nannies or some other service and hire a temp nanny for the week or two that you need. I'd do that if I had to.[/quote]
