Furious at my Family
My father's family doesn't let people know when something happens health wise so that "no one gets worried". It drives me bonkers. My grandmother had a mild stroke on Wednesday evening and my uncle called his two brothers, did NOT call his sister (aka the crazy aunt) and my father is on a cruise, but didn't think to call my brother or me. So I find out last night on facebook!!!!! Seriously one of my cousin's posted "Praying for Grandmother".
My uncle has spent the last two nights at the hospital with Grandmother and so I have told him I will come down and spend the night tonight so he can go home, but it's REALLY inconvient and I'm 4 hours (without DC traffic) away. I'm a little pissed at my other cousins who are closer that they didn't step up or my other two uncles.
I also did a shore to ship phone call last night and left a message, I hope, to my parent's room. But I haven't gotten a call back or an email with confirmation. My brother was FURIOUS that I called and worried and stressed out my father.
If you got this far, thanks, I just needed to vent.
Re: Furious at my Family
This has only reconfirmed that we were in fact separated at birth. Mine does the exact same thing. My mom once had outpatient surgery and none of us new about it! I probably still wouldn't know if I hadn't called the house at 3 in the afternoon and my dad answered. Drives me bonkers. And she wonders why we have a terrible relationship...
But back to you. I'm so sorry about your grandmother and I definitely hope she is feeling better really soon. And I really hope your family stops being douchetastic. But if they're anything like mine, they probably won't.
Also my dad called and said he was glad that I called and just wanted to make sure they didn't need to come home, etc. So my brother can once again SUCK IT!
