I need real advice. I think I'm being selfish, but I'm not sure. Here's the story:

My mom is moving from place to another at the end of this month. She told us (my DH and I) that she was allowed to move into her new place starting Sept. 1st, and that is also when she had to be out of her old place. We planned on helping her move that weekend.

Well, yesterday she called and said that now her current place wants her out by noon on the 31st. That's a Thursday. The only people that will be helping her move are my brother, my husband and myself. (Believe me-- SHE won't even be that big of a help in her own move!) She said my brother is taking off from work all day Thursday to help her move, and has asked my husband to do the same. I told her right then that I don't think he will be able to do so, and she got angry with me! First of all, it's really short notice for him to be able to take off a random day, and second, he only has TWO days of vacation left for a while, and we need both of those days when the baby comes! I told her this, and she doesn't seem to care. She keeps saying, "Please? Please? I really need the help!" She doesn't seem to care that it takes away from him being able to take off two days when the new baby arrives.

I'm angry that she's asking this off us, but I also feel compelled to help her since she's done so much for me.

We are already helping her pack her house next weekend... and by helping her I mean that we will be doing it for her. I hate to say it, but my mom is the laziest person I know! (Sorry, mom.) She is ALWAYS calling DH and having him do things for her that she is perfectly capable of doing, and I feel like this is just one more thing to add to the list. I told her we would help her all weekend, and Thursday night, as well, but she isn't accepting it. She wants us for all of Thursday.

What do I do? I know I started to just ramble, so I hope it all makes sense!!
