to say don't bother collecting your

DC as we are all going to bed.
SIL fell and went to A&E at 3pm today with a sore wrist. I have had their 3 DC since [not a problem really] But have had no ph call or text since, they are not ans msg we sent but my sis just rang as the updates are on F/B .
I have put all the DC to bed and am wreaked so want to go myself [esp as I will be up at 6am]
so will I tell them leave off calling for the DC?

Yes, manicbmc, that crossed my mind too I'm afraid to say.

So she is home and fine but has decided not to pick her kids up yet?

That would piss me off MASSIVELY!

No she really was there as DP works at the same hosp so he saw them a few times when he was in and out,
We are not in the UK but I guess procedure would be the same,
Triage nurse for assessment back of queue, seen by DR, sent to xray, reviewed by DR but as she was non life threatening and not under 18 even the drunks would be put before her so 9/10 hrs at A&E on a Sat evening/night would be good time really to get out of there.
Have set the older DC to arts and crafts to make a card for the neighbours who declined a lunch invite and said I was mad in the nicest way possible

God I hate Facebook, why do people feel that it takes precedence over normal means of communication?

You are very good and patient.

canyou You sound positively lovely. 9 dcs 3 of which aren't yours, park trip, DVDs, and now cards for the neighbours (lunch if wanted)

Can I just ask though, whats being done for YOU??

YADDDDDNBU in any way shape or form.

Mumbar but the trip to the park involved a lot of yelling, DVD allows me be here as does the arts and craft thing while dinner cooks and DP sleeps before he murders me in his sleep induced state.

Glad to see you've survived so far canyou

I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for them tbh, 10 hrs+ away from the DC and they didn't even have a hangover between them to show for it

canyou I have to agree with your neighbours...you are mad

You're also obviously a lovely person who is being taken advantage of by your SIL and BIL. There was no reason why he couldn't have come and taken care of their DC while she stayed at the hospital. I mean, it's a sprained wrist FCS.

I know Agent if I was childless on a Sat night I would want to be nursing a hangover today lol . Or maybe a wino/drunk slipped them some in A&E,
They have text to say they are up and she is very sore and they will ring in an hr after they have something to eat. my roast chicken, mac and cheese and veggies are not good enough for them [all the more for me ]
Also think I may have traumatised their 3 yro with Toy Story 3, it seems to not be age appropriate OOpps Is Shrek safe for him?

I think the neighbours may have rather scared to come to lunch with all the lively DCs! But you are lovely to be thinking of them.

If your BIL had sprained his wrist would he have needed your SIL to sit babysitting him for 9 hours? I doubt it.

you may land up having to just bring their DC home to them at this stage as they seem to feel the sprain is some sort of traumatic emergency that justifies a weekend off childcare for both of them!

that's horrific ! there was no reason her DH cuold not have had the kids after dropping her at A&E

I got a taxi there and back as I had my two and my niece & nephew for a sleepover, so DH stayed with the kids and I managed to sit in A&E all by myself!

I think the DH should have gone home and cared for the children also. Smacks of entitlement.

Even when I was in hospital with my last gallstone attack DH went home to sort the children out after DSIS had looked after them for a couple of hours.
