Ok, general whinge on the way here so if you are sitting comfortably I will try and keep itbrief...
1)AIBU to think that when asked what I wanted for my birthday, I suggested vouchers from a store 10 mins walk from both our houses, she said "oh, will I have to go and get you the vouchers then? Can I just give you the money? Actually I have your bank details, I'll send the money over the internet." Is it just me or was it just too much effort for my birthday to go and buy vouchers, drop them in on her way homw which is past my house? Sorry to seem ungrateful as she is offering me a present but felt a little deflated that it seemed all a bit too much trouble and effort for her.
2)I am quite unwell with undiagnosed neurological problem since March, suddenly walk with frame, unable to drive or work, am single mum to 10 and 7 yr old. Legs and hips don't work properly and occassionally I lock up, muscle spasms leave me unable to move. Last week this happened on stairs, sat stuck for half hour so got kids to grab mobile and I rung brother to ask for a hand. Sent sister in law round who helped me to get back up stairs and into bed and she left. No phone call later to check if I was ok, needed any help with kids etc. Managed to get downstairs and do them tea later but was in pain and scared. AIBU to expect just a call to check i was ok? Least I would have done if it was the other way round.
3)In process of choosing senior school for eldest. Told ex when open evenings were but he's arranged to go away with girlfriend to visit her family now so not coming. Sad he was not interested enough to come and see new schools with son. AIBU?
