I am currently 32 weeks pregnant so my emotions are probably running higher than normal so just tell me I'm an idiot if you want.
I rang home this morning to speak to my parents (always in at the time I rang, 8am). My brother picked up (aged 30 lives at home with parents) and I asked to speak to mum. He then went on to say 'they are not here' so I asked where they were and he said 'i can't tell you, it's not my place to say, it's private but whatever you do don't ring mum'.
He continues to refuse to tell me where they are but says I'm more than happy to have a chat. Obviously at this point I'm panicking, can't get any information out of him, the last thing I want to do is chat about idle nonsense, fearing the absolute worst.
Hung up on him and rang my dad. Turns out my mum had been referred to hospital to check on a mole (nothing to worry about, turns out not cancerous following appointment) but at that point based on my brother's response I was a wreck, crying, worrying my mum was seriously Ill/dying.
Afterwards, when I was absolutely seething with anger he said 'i told you not to ring, see everything was fine, I don't understand your weird logic, no point worrying you by telling you it was an appointment for a mole, have a great day'.
Maybe I'm hormonal and everything is stressing me out but I am still angry about it now.
When I told my mum she just laughed and said 'oh he has a different logic to things, don't worry about it'
I'm sure Mumsnet will tell me I'm being an idiot but trying to force information out of someone who is refusing to tell me what is going on and being left in the dark really upset me today
