Going home to visit.

Don't waste your time telling your mother this, but yes you and every other American is spoiled and you are entitled to be...not only do you have medical care, clean water, a bed, and plenty of healthy food, you deserve it.

You should not drink contaminated water just because plenty of poor people survive it, you should not skip medical care, healthy food nor comfortable beds, just because plenty of poor folk manage to survive that way.

So do not feel guilty for not wanting to be forced to sleep on a floor.

Choose your favorite plan (tent or hotel) and stick with it, call it pregnancy whims if you like, but do not feel one bit guilty for them.

If there is not a new bed when you arrive, you have every right to go to a hotel. Don't sleep on the floor. I hope the trip goes well in the end!

Actually I'm going to order a air mattress and leave it. Thank you costco. I like ours and I'm going to "gift" one to my mom.

I believe staying at your parents house is a horrid idea. Wouldn't it be better to make reservations for a couple of rooms in the same hotel and visit in an environment that is clean and healthy.

Staying in a house crammed by hoarders translates to rooms full of dust, and all those insects and vermin that thrive in those conditions. Your mom's reaction to your suggestion adds to the evidence of how much her childhood deprivation has damaged her thinking and values.
