I need to vent, I am fed up.
Having just got back from the OOH GP with mil, I am fed up of it all.
She waits for the most inconvenient time to decide she needs to go. She got out of hospital Christmas Eve (another story) which was inconvenient in itself, she had been there for over three weeks for an operation, traction first then operation then recovery.
She was at our house all of yesterday, we ran around after her, catered to her every whim. Today we visited her at home, made sure she was ok etc and told her we were going to a Boxing Day thing at my mums and would be having a drink.
While we were there she phoned and said she needed one of us there as she couldn't find her remote control. Told her we were leaving in an hour and would do it then. She slammed the phone down. DH decided to go to hers and find them, save the agro. The remote was on top of her fridge, she claims DH put them there as she can't reach.
Then, a few hours later when we are home, she phones and says we have to go down and take her to OOH GP, which apparently she can't do herself. So I went with her as DH had had a few drinks, I had only had one but couldn't drive, so £30 in taxi fare.
She always does this! Every time we plan something, she either needs to go to A&E (always turns out to be nothing), she falls over and can't get up (she can) or she needs one of us urgently to do something. EVERY time!
DH is one of three, his other siblings don't live near so we are left to do it. It is so frustrating. I feel we cannot do anything as she will do something to ruin it. She lives in sheltered accomodation btw but refuses to pull the cord for the warden.
