I agree with you both. I don't mind doing things for the baby because I want to do them. I was a little resentful of the way this situation came about. If C had come to me directly and said "with the baby here, I'm short could you help?" I would have had a lot more respect for her. But she went to my daughter, her friend. My daughter lives on her own, pays her own bills, and is going on to get her Master's in the spring. I'm sure that C saw on FB about all of the OT my daughter has been working so that she can afford to take the time off to go on the trip with us.
As I'm thinking about it now, I'm even more annoyed! My own child did not even come to us to ask her to help her with her bills so that she could go see her brother graduate. She wanted to go so she planned it out and picked all of the OT she could.
I'm a little hesitant to discuss this with A because I suspect that the money that A has been giving C for her living expenses have not been spent on those expenses. A and C have been having issues because A has turned the money faucet down. She wasn't even going to tell A when she went into labor.
