No one (not even family) has any obligation to care for the children YOU choose to have. If you can't afford to care for them 100% on your own, don't have them. You are extremely lucky if anyone offers to assist. Don't expect that assistance to last forever or be on your timeline. Always show gratitude and watch for the helper to show signs of exhaustion. Even if you are exhausted, you are obligated to step up to take over.

Their Baby is not your moms problem, she is under no obligation to provide free child care or plan her life around their needs. And why are they having another Baby if they have money problems and already one disabled child? And then expect other people to sollen their Problems...And mom will help anyway as soon as she is back...

Sounds like they can't afford to threaten, "irreparable damage" to the relationship if they depend on her so much.
