To be annoyed with my sisters.

[cornsilk]

Went round to visit my mum today (Thurs)and she had a black eye and cut on forehead. She said she'd been out with one of my sisters and had fallen. She was quite ill afterwards and was admitted as blood pressure dropped but was allowed home as my sister said she'd spend the night with her. My mum said that one of my other sisters was also over that night to help sort out the spare room. Sounds like my brother has been down too.AIBU to be annoyed that my sisters didn't bother to ring to tell me, even though she was quite ill, to the extent that the hospital were thinking of keeping her in overnight.

is there any chance they just didn't want to worry you about this?
hope your mum is ok this morning

Hmm, maybe. I'm going to ring one of my sisters to find out whether they've informed ny 3rd sister(there are lots of us). If they have I'm going to be

Well, I think I would have expected them to have told me cornsilk. Its not nice to think they didnt but perhaps with all the worry and care taken to sort her out perhaps they were just caught up in the run of things. You know what its like in hospital, you dont know whats happening and cant leave her to phone very easily. Just thank goodness you know now and maybe just make sure they know that whatever time they should always let you know if anything ever happens like that again. Have you a good relationship with them?

Yes we get on okay. I am surprised they didn't ring me. We all live fairly close.

I would be annoyed if I was you.

My mum had to go to hospital recently because of her heart. Dad called me, so I called siblings, called db1 first and he said not to call the others so they weren't worried. I disagreed and called them anyway.
Surely it's up to you whether to worry or not, but you have a right to know.

I expect it was just the panic of it all. Your mums wellbeing must have been formost on their minds.Poor you though, I would have wanted to have known right away. I hope they can explain a good reason why they didnt call you cornsilk.

By the way the accident happened on Monday so they've had plenty of time to contact me.

Oh my god, thats terrible then!

YANBU, I would be angry if my sisiter didn't tell me.

Phoned my sister she was very apologetic about not telling me. Said she was too stressed. Still cross but not worth falling out about it I suppose.

I know how you feel , i'm ill with shingles, been ill since last Friday. Last night I rang SIL and DN (16) answered. She was all lovely and jolly and said 'what have you been up to?'

She didn't have a clue that I was ill, bear in mind we're close, she stays here loads of times, I was really hurt that me being quite poorly isn't important enough to be mentioned in passing.

Childish, maybe, but it hurt my feelings
