ILs - is it me?

[ohfourfoxache]

Background - not the best relationship with MIL and FIL, DH calls them weekly but very LC for 10 years (FIL has met DS8 once, just very, very little interest - if we had had girls it would have been VERY different, but we have 2DSs)

FIL has been admitted to hospital, really not very well

MIL and BIL tried DH’s mobile but he didn’t hear it (repeated attempts over a few hours). Instead of calling me (who, you know, lives with him) BIL called my dad and my sister to try to get hold of DH (dad then called me - told DH and I on speaker phone that FIL wasn’t well and for DH to contact MIL/BIL)

MIL was apparently getting more and more wound up and worried that she couldn’t contact anyone

I mean, WTAF?

Is it just me or is just utterly fucking crazy?

It was BIL who called my dad and sister. He’s 4 years older than DH. He last messaged me a month ago. This isn’t some older person, ditzy “what have I done with the number” thing. This was, at least on BILs part, deliberate

Whether MIL has instructed BIL to not call me, I don’t know

Lying in bed mulling it over

Maybe mil had told bil that she couldn't reach dh and when he asked have you tried op she said yes. So he didn't question it (perhaps he doesn't like mil either) and just called someone else (thinking that both op and dh were not answering).
Strange yeah, but don't stress about it. Mil and fil sound crazy. No way would I be 'looking after them' in any capacity. Op has enough to do with her own children (and mil/fil are not interested)
Hope it all goes well for you op
