Sister is in hospital, nothing too serious should be coming out tomorrow. Last night was on the phone to her my one year old was crying, tired before bedtime. She said I'm going to go cause I can't deal with her screaming. Fine, must have been annoying. On the phone to her this afternoon and baby was squealing excitedly, I did I'm jst going to go to the other room as baby is making house and dsis said cant you jst tell her to shut the fuck up? I was a but taken aback so said aww as in aww don't be mean, and she said I'm only joking. But when she said ut didn't seem like a joke. She has never said anything like that before. Aibu to be upset or maybe she is crazy from being stuck in there?

Errr, the second thing Hmm

Yeah, she needs some slack cutting for her.

She's in a vulnerable position, even if it's not that serious, it's still freaky being caught up in the routine of being in hospital.

The general noise on the ward has probably made her more sensitive to other noises? Or she needs to let off a bit of steam.

Don't take it to heart, hope she's feeling better soon.

How long has your dsis been in hospital?

It was t a nice thing to say but if you're the only person she has spoken to in a day/48 hours/a week being "interrupted" by a child might be frustrating.

I have three DCs but still find music getting mildly irritated if I have to have a phone convo with someone who is clearly distracted by a child.

Shrug it off as frustration unless there is a back story

FutureDreamer · 28/12/2013 17:14

Music = myself

Dunno what is up with my phone tonight

She went in Boxing Day it's something to do with asthma/oxygen levels (bit complicated for me!) ok so I'll just let it slide, I am 9 months pregnant so perhaps a little sensitive, just can't imagine saying that!

Think I'd be pissed off about the comment, but wouldn't say anything to her. She's probably stressed from being I'm hospital over Xmas.

Hope she feels better soon

DD1 has been in hospital for asthma/oxygen levels a couple of times and it's serious, they don't take you in for days at a time unless it is.

She must be feeling totally fed up, pissed off, miserable etc etc, and probably just on a short fuse. She was trying to talk to you twice, and both times your attention wasn't on her but you were being distracted by your dd.

Just one of those things, but if you do speak to her again when she is in hospital, try and make sure you can focus on her.

Adeleh · 28/12/2013 17:33

What I hate most about hospital is 24 hour noise. It's horrible, and you're unwell. I cd imagine saying things I'd never otherwise say being in there. Under any other circs I'd be annoyed if someone said that, but you did the right thing in cutting her some slack.

Misspixietrix · 28/12/2013 17:35

Dd was in Sun (frequent visitor for asthma/oxygen levels). She's 7 was admitted on to the ward at 2am. Sent home at 4:15am Hmm as her oxygen levels had jumped up slightly. I'm saying this because despite all that she was still sent home still relatively poorly so If they've kept your sister in she MUST be bad. I would cut her some slack too. Would be pissed at the comment too but would let her have this one.

ClangerOnaComeDown · 28/12/2013 17:37

Sorry but it really annoys me when people down play asthma. It is serious, if it wasn't she wouldn't be there.

But...

While I understand her frustration she shouldn't have spoken like that. It sounds like she snapped and backtracked, I wouldn't give it a second thought.

Misspixietrix · 28/12/2013 17:37

Indeed Adelleh I had to calmly explain to Dd why I couldn't make the babys machine opposite her quite. :)

Sorry dont know much about asthma she stopped smoking recently and has had problems since, so it's kind f a new thing. But you are so right they wouldn't be keeping her in if it wasn't serious hospitals are trying to get people out ASAP these days! So jst going to forget it. And she must be fed up. And I am hormonal so overthinking it as well. Thanks all

If her oxygen saturation levels are below 93 then it is serious. But that doesn't really excuse the language IMO, she knows how little your baby is.
