‘She is a sad excuse for a mom’: Pregnant daughter ‘cuts ties’ with mother after she refuses to watch her grandchild during multiple family emergencies

When we were younger, our parents tried their best to be there for us whenever they could. They'd skip dinner plans to watch us in the lead role of the school play, they'd take off work to make us some homemade chicken noodle soup, and they did it all with a smile. As we grow older, though, this type of support lessens and lessens until we no longer receive that kind of support. In this next story, however, a woman has never been given the support she needed compared to her "golden child" sister. It's like some parents don't even try to hide their favoritism…

The woman in question is pregnant with her second child and explains that on multiple occasions, she needed her mother's help to watch her son during several family emergencies. Each time the woman asked, her mother declined for less important reasons, some of which include taking care of her completely-abled father. Now, the woman has decided to kick her mother to the curb.

This is a cautionary tale. If you keep expecting people to change because of picture-perfect media representations of family and togetherness, you will be forever chasing a fantasy. The woman's mother has always made her feel second-best, and nothing has changed since she became an adult. It's difficult to come to terms with the reality of your parents' priorities, but anything is better than expecting something that will never come. So, instead of begging her mother to be a mother, she decides to rely only on herself and new family she's created for herself.
