My entitled mother is demanding that I schedule a C-section instead of giving a natural birth,

so she and my dad can schedule a time specifically to see me and my daughter.

And I'm honestly so upset and frustrated by their entitlement as well as my

entitled mother practically trying to push me in this direction when it comes to how I'm

going to give birth to my child and at this point I seriously don't know what to do. Here's what happened. So I am due to have my first baby in just over five weeks time.

My pregnancy was a surprise and it's been a difficult eight months thus far.

Although low risk, I've experienced every symptom you can imagine.

From intense morning sickness to migraines and carpal tunnel syndrome.

I've also faced some pretty intense discrimination at work despite maintaining a high rate of performance throughout the entire year.

All of this is to say that it's been a very rough year overall.

I've had little support from my family this year and their nonsense has

seemingly known absolutely no bounds. Since around May they've been asking my

partner and I to make the 10-hour drive interstate for Christmas so that we could spend it with them.

Now this would be fine, but my doctor has repeatedly told me not to do this, as I will be

36 weeks along at that point, and I'll be prone to blood clots.

Despite all of this, they've continued to pester my partner and myself about it.

At one point they propose coming to see us for Christmas, but then swiftly shut down their own idea when they immediately realized that it would be an inconvenience for them.

Recently, my dad was diagnosed with some health problems of his own,

which he's been told is completely treatable

with surgery and some medication.

But regardless, I've called every other day

to check up on him just to see how he's going.
