My mom recently stress fractured her foot. She needs to surgery to correct it and then she will be non-weight bearing for eight weeks. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom to my 15 month old, however I am going to start school again in the fall.

Immediately after she suspected she'd broken it she called and asked if I could come down and help her out, primarily by driving her to and from work since it is her clutch foot that is injured. She was very frustrated since this is the second time she has fractured her foot, the first time being a couple years ago. The first time she broke her foot I did go down to help her out, however due to school and work I was only with her for three weeks before going home again. I agreed that myself and my daughter would come down to help out. There is no way my daughter would be able to stay home with her dad since he is always on call for shift work. The problem is that I only thought I would be down for 3-4 weeks. After a phone conversation tonight I learned she expected me to stay for the full eight week recovery time, and then extending the stay until late July, since I already have plans to be down there from late June to late July due to my best friend's wedding.

I do have some issues with this. For one, I don't want to take my daughter away from her dad for so long, and I know her dad doesn't want to be away from her for so long either. Everything happens so quickly at this age and we both feel like he would miss a lot. The second reason being that we have prior commitments for the month of May. We'll be moving into a new place and I want to be here for that. My daughter will turn 18 months in May and with that comes a doctors appointment and more vaccinations, both of which have been scheduled already. Another admittedly more selfish reason against this is that for the duration of my stay my daughter and I will be sleeping on an air mattress in a room that is primarily used for storage.

I expressed my concerns to my mom tonight and she was not happy. She made a point to say "I can't rely on anyone," and that she would be completely screwed if I don't come down for at least the eight weeks, which I feel was an attempt to guilt trip. She has a boyfriend and a lot of friends where she is (one even lives in her building) that can help her out as well.

WIBTA if I don't stay for eight weeks?
