Re: Afternoon randoms...add yours
MIL & FIL kept our 2.5 year old for a couple of days because she's on vacation from work and wanted to hang out with him. Last night he fell, hit his head and needed to have a spot on his eyebrow glued together. I am so happy that he will be okay, does not have a concussion, will be fine. But...
She called neither H nor I to tell us that she was taking him him to the ER. We are only about 35-40 minutes away from her house. I only found out about this at lunchtime and it happened at 8:00 pm last night. I am (maybe?) irrationally pissed about this.
I called the hospital to find out how they treated him w/out parental consent. She signed the paperwork as his parent/guardian.
I have to meet with them in 10 minutes to pick up my son and do not know how I am going to contain myself.
Oh hellllll no. How does your H feel about it?
Heads would fvkiing ROLL. I know this gets thrown around a lot on the nest/bump but they wouldn't be allowed to watch my kid anymore.
DS1 born June 2008 | m/c at 9w March 2011 | DS2 born April 2012
This is pretty much an unforgivable offense.
What does your H have to say about this?
RAAAAGE
Obviously he is relieved that N (son) is okay, but when he called me at lunchtime to tell me what had happened it was really hard to gauge his feelings; we had a horrible connection because he's in the boondocks building a barn and I could barely understand what he was saying. He has to know that this will send me through the roof, as she has a looooooong history of overstepping. This is by no means the first time she has tried to "parent" our son, but by far the worst.
H doesn't know yet that she signed as his parent/guardian in order to seek treatment without the hospital calling us for verbal consent. I checked with the hospital and that is all that it would've required for them to seek emergency treatment: the verbal consent, over the phone, of his parents. AKA: all she had to do was call us.
WTFingF???
She is fired.
H and I are going on a DATE Saturday night! There'll be no sex involved, obviously, but I will flaunt my boobs, and we might make out. lol
Really, I just want to sit on the deck at a favorite restaurant and drink wine and eat cheese and not worry about the baby waking up and starting to cry at any minute.
Having parents who live in town is the best thing ever.
Thanks Kiz! It was an awesome day. Especially since I felt really great about the work I did on that project and then to get a bonus out of it as well... It just made my day and reminded me why I love my job and the people I work for.
I knew you changed your name, but I didn't catch why? What's up with that?
