My mum spat it at me when I asked her to book her tickets 3 weeks after Jovie was due. She felt that it was her right to be here, and I had to remind her that it wasn't about her, it was all about me. It felt selfish, but its NOT!!!! Okay? My mum was here when Matilda was born and although I wanted her to be here, DH & I missed that precious time of babymoon on our own. Instead we had her in the background asking us what we were doing (like we knew... it was our first time).
