My sister was visiting me yesterday and we noticed DS (16 months) who has had a cold for a few days was starting to look quite poorly and his temperature was very high, so I decided he needed to go to A&E. My sister drove for us. We were kept waiting for a good few hours in A&E and sister spent most of the time on her phone, which I didn't mind as it can't have been very interesting for her. Finally DS is seen, given antibiotics and is admitted for the night. Once the appropriate staff came to escort DS to the ward my sister said goodbye to me and left. I stayed with DS for the night and DH drove us home the next morning after he was discharged.
After getting DS settled back at home I had time to check my phone. I browsed Facebook for a while and I saw a post from my sister that was put up at 5:24pm which would have been when we were waiting in A&E. My sister had used Facebook's "check in" feature to check into the A&E department (she hadn't even checked into the children's department, and she has no DC) and there were loads of comments from concerned friends and family members. Lot's of "Are you okay? Ring me x", "Oh no what's happened hun x", "Is everything okay? You're worrying me.". Of course she had replied to each comment with a typical "I will PM you x". I am a very private person and don't feel the need to tell extended family and acquaintances that my toddler spent a night in the hospital and was perfectly fine. It feels like my sister was attention seeking and wanted people worrying about HER so I messaged her asking her to take the post down and I also said I was not happy with her using DS as a way of getting attention for herself. AIBU?
