DM is a reasonably fit 76 but has reverted into wanting to be treated like an ‘old lady’ of late - think wanting lots of lifts, visits, phone calls etc.
I had a small op tuesday last week and DM knew about this as I spoke to her sunday beforehand and saw her during the week before but she is annoyed because I didn’t ring her beforehand or on the day. She doesn’t seem to click that phones work both ways !!!
Shes miffed as she says she’s wanted to come up with meals etc and to be honest Im relieved as I really didn’t want her coming up - there is always a big palaver involved as she wants lifts (from DH in this case who will be busy organising teens , dogs and working) and even if she says she’s ok to get the bus, there will endless jabs around how she was left to get a bus home (I am still listening 10 years later to how DH once let her get the bus in the rain - it’s door to door and 15 mins)
AIBU unreasonable to think that if she wanted to speak to me she should have called, I was the one having the op and the one in pain afterwards
