To just want some fucking help?

My mam is in the hospital because of a couple of things. She was taken in by ambulance yesterday. She's well enough to be ringing with a list of stuff she wants.

My dad has been told he's no longer allowed to drive because of seizures.

My sister has refused to help today because she has "stuff to do in the house" and her ex is dropping the kids back off this evening. There was plenty of time to do what needed to be done.

I have a migraine (and they'd been so bad I had a MRI a couple of weeks ago) but they're all expecting me to do everything. My dad hadn't packed a single thing for mam. I've just had to pack everything. The hospital is a good 20min drive away and to be honest I just feel like crying.

You and your sister need to have a calm chat about getting care help in for your DPs. If she's working, you're not but you're her free childcare you can't be in 2 places at once looking after your DPs as well. What's going to happen when your DM comes home and may need more help? You guys need to come up with a plan together that works for you both.
