My mom just messaged me saying she’s pushing our trip forward a week after I struggled so hard to get this time off for her. I cannot go and I have over a week of no pay now. I’m about to crash out.

I hope you can tell her right away and that she will accept it! That’s 1000% reasonable. Most people cant switch their time off that easily anyway.

Like “oh! I would only be able to go the original week of [dates] when I have the time off. I hope you’ll be able to move it back to that week so I can still go! I understand if you’ll have to go on the trip by yourself/without me. But if you can move it back and we could both go, I would really enjoy going with you ”

Also - idk your relationship to her, so take this with a grain of salt. But I noticed you said you got this time off “for her”. You may have more success by only sounding disappointed, compared to outwardly panicking.

I agree with #1- they’re advice is pretty solid-

if it doesn’t work out, you can also ask your manager if you can pick up some shifts; chances are your place of work is understaffed or your coworkers are flaky enough for this to work

^ that approach may be more relevant if you think it is an intentional power play where her jerking you around or causing drama is somehow gratifying to her. On the other hand, If she is kind and understanding but simply doesn’t understand how time off works for many jobs, AND you genuinely want to go, it may be safe to reveal how worried you are.
