My dp was brought up by his grandparents, so he is v close to them. His Grandma has type 2 diabetes and a number of other issues relating to mis managing her diabetes. (She doesn't stop eating)
All dp family live within 10min of grandparents and all screen hysterical as soon as she is Ill
This weekend was my DS 11 birthday and a party was planned for afternoon (my DS is Dp DS). In the morning DP got a call off his mother (who was on holiday in Spain) telling him paramedics had been called to Grandma but she had refused to go to hospital. The heavy implication was DP had to drive up and sort her out. (Dp is one of 10 grandchildren).
We returned home from DS early birthday treat with DP ready to do the trip. Before he set off he called his grandpa who gave a different storey. Basically the paramedics said she had chest infection, here's some tablets, go to bed. My DP asked grandad if he should drive up. Grandpa said "don't be silly she is in bed enjoy the bday party".
Monday we get another call, paramedics have been called again. This time grandpa called them because she went funny. Didn't need a hospital trip just some sugar (she hadn't been eating) but again MIL made a huge "she is dying, everyone gather around call, by this time she was back from Spain)
Today MIL has called to say paramedics have been called again, this time they advised her to eat jam!!!
She has heavily insinuated that DP needs to travel up and get her into hospital today.
Now if I thought she really needed the hospital. I'd drive the 3.5 hours (7 hours round trip) myself. But I'm getting sick of the wolf calls.
DP is the only one who gets called to 'sort' things. He is self employed, works like a Trojan and I am 27 weeks pregnant. His cousins only visit GPs to ask for money or create drama.
Anyway I've told him he needs to stop jumping. We have baby on the way. They need to fix their own dramas. He loves his GPs and although he agrees his mum is a nightmare. He feels guilty not running. I've told him if he goes today I can't support him. (He is also going at weekend) Am I being a unreasonable hormonal pregnant nightmare?
