Is it just me??

So remember a few months ago I told you ladies about my cousin who was going to be in the area (twice!) and didn't come to visit our grandmother? And how I thought it was rude since she hasn't seen her in well over a year and she lives in the same state?

Ok so - my grandmother is in the hospital again. She was in the hospital in Sept for multiple things and was transferred to a rehab. She came home on Halloween. She had been doing well. She started to get all confused again and we had to bring her back to the hospital. She has a UTI. We have been told that a UTI in elderly people can do funky things to their head and make them all confused. 

So last night I texted my cousin to let her know what was going on. My mom call her brother (my uncle, my cousins dad) to tell him, but he wasn't home. We wanted to make sure someone got the info. My Uncle is out of state for the weekend - fine no biggie.

Ok - now to the point of the post... while talking to my cousin she said she couldn't believe Nana was in the hospital again. She asked what happened etc. Then a few minutes later she was like "oh man - I am SO upset that she is in the hospital again, this is awful'. WTF lady! You never visit... she was in the hospital/rehab for over a month and you never came to see her. You were here for a baseball game 10 minutes from her house and you didn't even bother to stop in and say hi. You have lost the right to be SO upset. I am frustrated. When the sad day comes when my grandmother is no longer around, she will regret not spending time with her. It makes me so mad.

 Sorry for the super long post. I just needed to share that with someone.

  • People like that piss me off.  The same thing happened to my Mom when she was sick and it was her OWN Sister.  That didn't end well...

  • You're completely justified in being pissed. I would be too.

  • I would be annoyed too.

  • I agree, you are completely justified in being ticked off, I would be too. Some people just don't get that their actions speak louder than words.

  • No, it's definitely not just you!! That's seriously terrible.

  • Frustrating to say the least... did you suggest she come to visit at all? Did she offer? She will regret it and you know what though... YOU will know you've been an awesome granddaughter and took advantage of every opportunity you had to spend with your grandma... :) In the end, that's all that matters. :)
  • Sometimes, family member can be the most inconsiderate and painful people on the planet. Totally unfortunate when you'd think they'd be the most polite and kind. Some people just seem to think that it's more "excusable" to be rude to family... Sad. I'm sorry for that frustration for you.

  • That is horrible of her, the least she could do is go see her... in the end she will be the one with the regrets. My grandmother did the same thing when my Dad was sick. She came out from Ontario, stayed at my Mom's house and ate her food but never went to see her son in the hospital. When Dad passed away and we went back to BC to bury him, Grandma had mom bring her down and she never even went to the funeral!! I should probably get over it, but I haven't talked to her since.
