I am so upset and I don’t know what to do

I am not sure if it is even legal to post this or not but I can’t talk to anyone else about it. It’s just my vent. I don’t know if I should be upset or happy. <br><br>Within days of me turning 18 (literally 2 days), my mom announced she is pregnant. She was “trying” for years but nothing happened. Usually, she would only announce her pregnancy to me after her 12 week mark. It’s a low risk pregnancy and things are all good. <br><br>The thing is that she was previously told she won’t be able to have more kids. She was taking hormones to try for another kid. She is over 40 and her age and the fact that her older pregnancy was a high risk one is now making her very nervous about the pregnancy. She was told she is going to need a lot of attention, and that might include an early bed rest. <br><br>It’s just me, her and my dad at home. My older siblings live in different states and I would rather die than ask them for help. They are not the best people to be around. We cannot afford to hire someone since home help is really expensive in our area and we don’t have extra money for that. <br><br>My mom has asked me to help her out around the house and to care for the baby. I am not sure how to feel. I am not sure if I should be upset that she is asking me to do it or if I should take it as a compliment. A part of me is feeling upset about the whole thing and I don’t know what to do. I have no friends or anyone to talk to. I feel like I don’t have a say in this and everything is already being decided for me.
