To think family should have shown concern?

[hustlepyramid]

Out for afternoon tea and somehow spilled hot tea on my hand.

I squealed and jumped up. A waitress came over as I was still crying out and took me to a sink where I could put cold water on my hand. I screamed several more times as it hurt.

When I got back my family were all just eating cake and chatting!

I sat down and said "I'm fine."

AIBU or could they have shown some concern?

Seems rather an overreaction to me... If you're like this all the time, they probably ignored it on purpose

In that painful moment you remember exactly when you squealed, jumped and screamed?

Drama llama

Got to be a reverse.

You sound like my wife, being over dramatic is her speciality.

I screamed several more times...

While running a burn under cold water? Blimey.

Jeez you really are a drama queen. Maybe you should've gone to A n E if you were so seriously hurt.

You squealed when it happened and then screamed several times afterwards, sorry that sounds very dramatic, no wonder they ignored you. Are you always wanting to be the centre of attention?

Oh what nasty comments.

Take no bloody notice op.

YANBU.
Its just basic manners to apologise and ask if someone's okay.

Hope your hand is okay.
Oh and if you are new to mumsnet. Don't let the nastiness put you off posting.
I promise we're not all that rude

I think an ambulance would have been appropriate you poor love

Its just basic manners to apologise and ask if someone's okay.

To apologise for what? Her spilling tea on her own hand? Why would anyone else have to apologise?

And actually the usual advice is, if someone has a history of being dramatic, its best to ignore the behaviour.

Holy fuck...

Aww give over, she was being over dramatic and posters are telling her their opinion. Some might be more blunt than others.

Why would her family apologise to her?

Ask if she was ok fair enough but apologise?

But of a drama to keep secraming like a banshee, you are not 5. They were proably embarassed and keeping their heads down.

'I apologise for you spilling tea on your own hand'

I read somehow as someone.
Still no need to eat op alive, though.

Oh my god we literally are becoming a nation of overgrown toddlers.

God forbid we ever actually have to live through some kind of emergency state, with all the babies around.

You screamed several times in a public place over a scalded hand. Yes it hurts but seriously? Do you not think you overreacted?

I wouldn't show much concern over a little burn with tea. Yes it hurts but put under cold water job done.

Did your parents say and do nothing at all? No reaction?

You sound a bit of a fusspot. Nobody likes having hot tea spilt on them. But unless it was a whole teapot full I think you made a drama out of it. Still crying. Are you 5.

I' m with you op....some of us are just more empathetic.

You do sound like a drama queen. I had third degree burns to my hand and didn't scream. Your family should have asked how you were though.

Still no need to eat op alive, though.

Really? Thats whats happened?

some of us are just more empathetic.

Is that the new term for dramatic? To make it sound more virtuous?

Maybe your family are fed up with your childish attention seeking behaviour?
