XP: vent, apparently my mom has a magic ball!

Aaaaaaaaasrgh!!!!

Background: she is supposed to come stay here with the girls when we go to the hospital.

She just called me. "So, since you are not giving birth this weekend..."
Me, interrupting: "says who?"
Mom: well, are you in labour?
Me: it is Saturday morning, all it means is i am not giving birth by lunch time, not the whole weekend.
Mom: I was thinking since I am not working I could go buy (expensive) ingredients and spend the day baking traditional Easter things.
Me: ok but what if I call you and you have to drop it all in the middle?

She lives two hours away.
Easter is in 3 weeks?
I am 39w2d, and gave birth at 39w3d and 39w4d with my other two. Is this really the best timing???

She was all offended : I don't know how these things work I was induced at 42 weeks with both.

Common sense?

What a weird conversation. I went into labor on a Sunday. The day before I had no idea I was going to have a baby the next day. I agree that it is way to early in the weekend to say you will not have a baby this weekend. If she is cool with having drop everything and leave in the middle of what she is doing I guess it is not a big deal.

I would be so very annoyed. I mean, she can go ahead and start her baking projects as long as she is willing to recognize she may need to abandon them half-way through, but it sounds like she doesn't think that will be necessary. Bizarre.
