and help us watch her grandchild

I intentionally used grandchild to her, so my mom can better associate this.

Yikes. Sounds terrible TC. If your mom has a history of not helping i dont see why you would expect it to change. Although you did ask her specifically as a condition to her coming. Have you not been asking her straight up enough or just assuming she will volunteer herself to help?

Never asked her for help in the past 16 months. We usually ask my in laws, and theyre fantastic. We wouldve paid for a balcony room for them to join us, but they get terribly sea sick and didnt want to come. Ive asked her directly- can you leave the room? and she does, but comes back after like 10 minutes because she just wants to sleep/lounge in our suite; can you take our daughter out, to which she says sure, but just continued to sit and do nothing.

Lol your own fault for inviting her. Like she is literally the woman who brought you into this world let her enjoy her vacation. What kind of person brings their own Mother on a vacation then is like nope Mom no fun for you watch our baby while we have fun sounds kind of selfish.

I literally asked her to do this before we left. We have 6 hours of day care every day on board; the rest, we wanted to do a split- some her, some us but its been all us, and during day care time, my mom is just in the suite so we cant even do anything in our suite. Its god damn annoying.

Instead of bringing a baby on a vacation they won't remember, you should have dumped the kid with your mom back at home.

You cucked yourself

I actually wanted to leave our child with the in laws, and the in laws were volunteering, but my wife wanted to bring our child. Honestly, it isnt too bad with the on-board daycare.
