Navigating Family Tensions When Asking for Help During Labor

I recently asked my mom if she could watch my boys at my house in case I go into labor early, and her reaction caught me off guard—she was really upset. I understand that everyone has their own comfort zones and boundaries, but it stings when you hope for support and it doesn’t go as planned. It’s tough balancing my needs as a mom with respecting my own mother’s feelings. I’m left wondering how other families handle these moments when expectations and reality don’t quite match up. Has anyone else faced a similar situation with family support during big life events? I’d love to hear your stories or advice in the comments below. #FamilySupport #ParentingJourney #MotherhoodMoments #Parenting
