Today, my water broke. I called my mom, who had agreed to watch my other two kids while I went to the hospital. When I asked her to come over, she just said, "Sorry, now isn't a good time." FML

Today, at 2 in the morning, my water broke. I called my mom and woke her up to come watch our older kid, while my husband and I went to the hospital. After being tested at the hospital, I was told I had just peed myself. FML

Today, during my family's traditional fourth of July weekend celebration, my water broke. I kept trying to tell them and asked them to take me to the hospital, but they couldn't hear me over the fireworks. They all just kept smiling and nodding. FML

Today, it's my birthday. I'd asked my mom weeks ago if she could watch my kids, so my husband and I could go celebrate. She told me an hour before we were supposed to leave I'd have to reschedule, so she could watch my brother's kids while he goes out for fun. Gee, thanks mom. FML

Today, my water broke. Due to Covid-19, we couldn't go straight to labor and delivery, so had to go to the emergency room and wait to be taken up. I sat there for an hour with a ruptured sac and contractions. FML

Today, my wife's water broke so I drove her to the hospital. After 16 hours without labor, I went home to get a little sleep. Four hours later I got the call and ran outside to find that my car was towed from my parking space. FML

Today, I called my mom to tell her that I'm coming over for a visit. She answered: 'Why? What do you need? Food? Money? I'm not going to help you! You're a grown woman!' And she hung up. I just found out that I'm pregnant and she was the first person I wanted to share it with. FML

Today, at over 9 months pregnant, I woke up to a wet bed. Convinced my water broke, I woke up my husband and had him drive me to the hospital at 3am. The nurse told me my water was fine, I had just peed the bed. FML

Today, I went into labor, and my husband wasn't answering his phone. I called my sister to ask her to drive me to the hospital but she said she'd only do it if I paid her $1000. I had to dial 911, and almost gave birth in my bathroom in process. FML

Today, I called my sister and asked if she could watch my baby while I went to the store for desperately needed groceries and supplies. She refused, despite the fact that she's randomly dropped off her three rambunctious boys more times than I could count so she could go clubbing. FML

When she asks to visit her grandchildren: "Sorry, now isn't a good time."

I somehow don't think she'll care to visit her grandchildren.

How selfish of you OP, you should of planned when your water was going to break :( Sorry your mom is a little selfish and hope everything went well regardless.

She did plan. If you read correctly you'd see she asked her mom in advanced and her mother agreed, but with the time came just blew it off.

Really?! If you read my post properly, you might of realized I was being sarcastic because although her mother agreed to watch her other children while she was delivering, NOBODY ever knows when their water is going to break.

#51, she was being sarcastic and calling OP selfish for not choosing the exact time her water would break.

Apparently she doesn't think you are important...what can more important than giving you a hand?

Your mom is hanging from a rope over an active volcano, engaged in-hand to hand combat with Dr. Friederstein's top henchman. "You'll never get away with this!" she yells as the villainous super-genius doctor cackles from atop his mechanical robot. "Oh, but I will!" He shouts. "The ancient Mayan idol of power is now powering this robot and all of my monstrous creations! Not even you can stop me now!" Just then, mom's cell phone rings. It's her daughter, calling to announce her impending baby. "Sorry, now's not a good time!" Mom yells as she absorbes yet another strike from the henchman's cyborg arm. "And it's not a good time for YOU either" she growls at the henchman. Mom grips the rope tighter, flips upside down, and kicks her opponent in the head, sending him plummeting into the rolling lava far below.

I'm sorry, OP. What your mom just did was a dick move. Hopefully your children are taken care of and you have a safe, healthy, and happy delivery. Best luck to you!
