[quote=Anonymous]I'm really surprised at how hard people are being on you OP.  Giving birth and having a newborn is exhausting enough without having your partner unavoidably away for an extended period (serving his country no less) and two additional children to care for.    You wrote you have asked your mother for help just 3 times in the last 10 years, and that's not grounds for people to call you bratty. I hope that if I would volunteer to help a neighbor who had your level of needs--let alone helping my own daughter if I were physically able at that age.

Hugs to you OP-I don't blame you for feeling hurt--you know best whether you should air your feelings with your mother or let it fester--but at the end of the day everyone is right in that you have to accept people for what they are.

I'm glad you have the means to hire additional help OP (although I know it won't be the same as having the mom you love so much around) and hope that others in your community can help too. I wish you the best of luck with your new litle one.[/quote]
