Leaving my baby for two/three weeks

So I want to start with I have a good relationship with my in-laws for the most part. Thing is, they’ve been talking about taking my 18 month old son back home with them to San Francisco before I go into labor.. we live in southern Orange County. Nothing has been said to me directly either. They just talked to my husband about and he just said I was fine with it like wtf. I want my son to meet his little sister when she’s born. I think it’s horrifying for him to leave us to stay with his grandparents for two weeks and come home to this tiny baby. He doesn’t fully understand and no one is regarding his feelings at all. I also want him home for Mother’s Day like I figured that’s not much to ask for. They’re treating him like he’s a huge inconvenience to me but he’s not. I want breaks from him, but not two weeks straight like what in the actual f*ck. Maybe it’s my hormones, but I’m kind of upset about the whole thing. I’m also about to give birth extremely soon. I’m hoping my body waits till at least after May 16th. Again no one tells me anything! I hear it through my husband and I told him how I felt and what I’d like instead and he said that it has to be on their time because his mom works, but his dad can take care of him just fine and at this point it’s not even a favor. My mom can’t either because she also works a lot and her only off days are Saturday. I don’t know what to do. I’m extremely upset and overwhelmed. The cherry on top is my husband and I had this discussion he got his feathers all ruffled and just said I’ll tell them to cancel and that you changed your mind in a bothered tone.. which set me off because?? Tf!! I was never directly told about this!!! HELLO?? and afterwards he just went to sleep and didn’t help me with our son. He claims to have a huge headache now. I’m in early labor… I’m currently 5 CM dilated… this is our second baby and I don’t plan on having more till I see him act right consistently. This pregnancy was crazy rough. I’m pissed tf off

What the heck??? Um no way would I allow my 18 month old to be taken away for two weeks, absolutely not!

@Aubrey yeah no field trip or anything ever lasts that long. I feel like my husband wanted a girl so bad and his having one now that he just doesn’t care enough for our son and it makes my blood boil. If I ask him (because I straight up have) he’ll say of course he’s my son.. this shows otherwise though. I’m so pissed off. I told him to tell them since they’re not fucking talking to me about if for some damn reason.. that the 17th- 23/24 is fine. My dad’s birthday is the 23rd and I’m sure he wants to see him. Right now my husband is pissed and giving me the silent treatment and he’s lying saying it’s because of his migraine, but he’s done this before this is not new behavior and I’m so fucking angry. Lien excuse my language, but I’m about to go into labor and he’s being a damn moron.

I’m pissed for you. I was just recommended an after birth doula so maybe they can help with toddler too? But no way your son is going away like why can’t ur husband watch again? Or have dad stay over??

Also mil can’t get time off? Then dad stays when she goes back? Like huh? And your husband being ok with that like obviously he’s overwhelmed but Jesus…

@Lis only thing is we wouldn’t have space to have them over so I get why they’d plan to take him, but like for that long is crazy to me. He’s still so little and that’s an 8 hour drive ugh
