Help me not compare parents

[Anonymous]

np: I hope the health issue from last night has eased today. My son was in the hospital for most of 3-4 months a few years ago, and I asked parents and ILs for help with my other dcs who were 6 and 10. My mom helped for half the crisis, I had to beg her, my dad told her not to help. ILs are older and I didn't expect much from them, I was disappointed but I was way more upset at my dad. I finally started therapy last year to work on my anger and the stress of my son's chronic illnesses and behavior issues. Therapy is helping. Sorry to hear of your troubles, I sympathize.

Agree. She would complain if Jesus Christ was helping her. Cannot stand nd have no sympathy for people like her. Whine, whine, whine!

OP here. No they definitely didn't know. And DH said it was too much to say in a text and he'd call them later.

Now that's not fair to the parents. If I were nagging my kids via text, I'd sure as hell want to know that I was bothering them in the ER. Your dh has got major issues that you end up being burdened with. I think the bigger problem is your dh, frankly.

OP, since you are the one annoyed, YOU have a responsibility to inform them - enough - to prevent annoyance.
