I have a MIL who has caused waves in our relationship, and she's the one who lives 3 miles away where my mom lives and hour. Why does it always work out that way? What I've learned over 20 years? DON'T count on her to babysit. This isn't the first time it's happened i bet, so why keep going back to that well to drink? I love this saying "Take advantage of me once it's YOUR fault, take advantage of me twice it's MY fault." Sorry if that sounds harsh

It's really a great rule to live by though and will save you lots of heartbreak if you follow it. What about your husband taking a day off from work to do all the running around with the kids for you? He's part of the equation too...maybe you could work something out like that. I know how heartbroked you must be and how desperate you are to get your baby. It is love when you find the right one. Good Luck and hopefully your hubby can help you out.
