To be fuming, not self isolating!

Just spoke to my sister. Asked how her days going. She says she's not well. Was going hot and cold yesterday and today she has a really bad cough where she can't catch her breath and her chest hurts. So I just say oh no hope you're OK and obviously you'll need to self isolate.
Speak to my mum and ask how her days going, she's says good. She says she's had my sister round all morning!!!!???
I reply what? Did she tell you she was unwell. She says no she's only just text me just this second to tell me. I said she's told me she was unwell yesterday, why did she come round? My mum says she seemed OK, but still that's not the point.
Why is she so selfish to put my parents at risk!! So could have corona, she could not. But making my parents ill at this time is not good at all. They are mid 50s.
Im absolutely fuming. I've just text her to ask why she went round knowing she didn't feel well. She's read and ignored it!!

All kinds of stupid

BuzzingtheBee · 22/03/2020 15:39

Very selfish

Ineedwine1 · 22/03/2020 15:40

If my parents get ill from her and it turns out to be corona, I don't think I'll ever forgive her or speak to her

Your sister is a selfish twat, whom knows EXACTLY what she is choosing to do.

Darbs76 · 22/03/2020 15:43

Completely selfish

WorraLiberty · 22/03/2020 15:45

She really is stupid.

But did your mum not notice her really bad cough?

BettyFilous · 22/03/2020 15:49

Is there a large inheritance at stake? I can’t think of any other reason why someone would do something so fuckwitted and selfish to their own parents.

Chillicheese123 · 22/03/2020 15:52

Is she actually that I’ll though

I faceTimed a friend who apparently feels like death and can’t stop coughing, she ate a large bar of Galaxy and half a pizza whilst in the call and didn’t cough once in 30 minutes.

Chillicheese123 · 22/03/2020 15:53

Ill *

Ineedwine1 · 22/03/2020 15:54

worra my mum said she was choking a bit but my sister never said anything and my mum didn't think. Prob didn't think her own daughter would put her health at risk.
No large inheritance
I told my sister what I thought of her and she's now blocked me. Obviously couldn't handle the truth

I agree that your sister was wrong for going round.

Aren't people supposed to be isolating as much as possible?

Your mum didn't have to let her in.

Ineedwine1 · 22/03/2020 16:01

Yes they are. I've been isolating a week now. Haven't seen my parents or sister or friends. Only gone to the shops when needed etc.
Yet my sister has been frequently popping into my mums. No she didn't have to let her in. She didn't know my sister felt ill until she decided to tell her after she got home

Well.obviously she's irresponsible ,but mid 50,s isn't really an at risk age group unless underlying health issues we should all be practicing social.distancing though and social isolation if we have any symptoms

Ineedwine1 · 22/03/2020 16:08

@x2boys I'm sorry but people in their 50s are still getting it badly and my mum is a smoker and doesn't have the best chest. So yes I'm concerned about her not so much my dad.
Still can't get over my sisters selfishness I'm really upset and angry

Fluffycloudland77 · 22/03/2020 16:10

Does she not like your parents very much?

x2boys · 22/03/2020 16:12

Not really ,yes some will and clearly your mum has underlying health issues which is what I said ,I'm just a bit younger than your parents and I'm more concerned about my parents who are both 78 and my mum is very frail ,I wouldn't class mid 50,s as elderly .

Ineedwine1 · 22/03/2020 16:14

She does but relies on them too much. Or if she's bored she won't find something to do, she will go to my parents.
She thinks about herself all the time. Literally. And if anyone dares challenges her like I just did then she cuts them out and thinks you're being unfair and out of order.

" my mum is a smoker and doesn't have the best chest."

So she should take some responsibility & isolate herself from people who don't live with her-whether or not they are ill.

Ineedwine1 · 22/03/2020 17:07

Yes true my mum should also be taking steps as well. Which I've raised my concerns to her before today anyway. But I still can't get over my sister.
I've just been told by my mum I could have worded it different. Don't really know how I can tell someone their selfish in a different way!
My sister has now blocked my mum because my mum dared to question her about coming to her house while I'll. My sister said to her thanks for your concern about me but no apology to my mum
