Please be outraged for me
I am feeling dramatic this morning. So yesterday afternoon my dad spiked a fever of 103. My mom called an ambulance and they took him to the hospital in the early evening. He's been admitted with a UTI and is on IV antibiotics. This is not the interesting or ragey part of my story.
How did I find out this information? Well this morning, via email of course. I was the last person added to a mass email from my mother that began "As most of you know, Bill spiked a temp . . ."
I most certainly did not know.
Really, neither she nor one of my brothers could fraking call me?

Re: Please be outraged for me
I would be outraged!
This has been happening lately in our family. My brother, sister, and I keep finding out crazy stuff about other family members via email well after the event. It seriously sucks. I feel you on this one.
I'd be pretty pissed. Maybe you should get yourself a nice can of creamed corn to try to curb the rage.
WTF? You've got my validation to be completely outraged by this. How hard would it be for your mom to call you?!
I hope your dad is okay and gets out of the hospital soon.
I am outraged on your behalf. My family does this to me also. Maybe because I don't live near them and don't see them often, I don't know. But I shouldn't find out my grandfather is in the hospital with pneumonia from FB. Or that my grandma had cancer AFTER it was in remission.
I feel ya.
Not without a drug test first.
I'd be able to let it go as bad behavior because her husband is really sick except she obviously called other people and she added me to the email chain last.
I am walking around my house growling and shouting "We Bears" to which Mr. Mod responded "We ANGRY Bears! huh. like Angry Birds. Wouldn't that be a great iPhone app?" (insight into my marriage right there people. right there)

I feel you Sisterfriend. A couple pieces of news I learned via email: when my uncle died and when my dad's biopsy came back benign. It would have been helpful to know that my uncle was in the hospital or that my dad was having a test done.
the tech age certainly has it's downsides. huge pro that I don't have to actually call people when I don't want to though.
Validated. I would be unbelievably pissed.
The nerve!

Yeah, this is the downside of the internet and texting age.
I love Mr. Mod.
I'm livid for you. This shiit is all too familiar in my family. I'm lucky if I hear about it at all since my parents don't even email. And I live in the same town as my parents!
You deserve to be wicked pissed, Mod. Especially since you go above and beyond to try to take care of your family.

I hope your dad is ok!
Validated!
My mother had emergency surgery while I was on my honeymoon, and even though we phoned several times, my parents didn't tell me until we returned.
My old boyfriend's father nearly died of an aneurysm while we were on a cruise, and also refused to mention it when he called home during the trip.

Validation granted! That is completely ridiculous.
I found out about my mom going to the ER five times for panic attacks/racing heart (she has a heart condition) only when I had to take her for the sixth. No, no reason at all to let your kids know the first time, when they thought it could have been a fukking heart attack.
The nerve!

Validated.
Pre-FB I called to chat with my mom and found out she'd been in the hospital for two days and was having heart surgery that afternoon. Sis: "Didn't someone call you?"

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
My mom does this but I don't even get the courtesy of an email. I find out weeks later when someone else asks about her health or mentions it in passing.
But she's always done this. When I was about 11 my dad's mom died while I had a friend over for a sleepover, she comes into the room and says "I'm sorry, Patty. You're going to have to go home, irish's grandma passed away."
