[quote=Anonymous]Tell me if I need to chill out here.

Late yesterday evening, my husband suffered an injury at work. Nothing serious, and actually pretty funny (if an injury can be funny), but his place of business obviously insisted he be seen at a hospital, because of the nature of the injury. Anyways, due to the general lack of severity, he was there for a long time in triage, and then a while longer being monitored and waiting to see a doc to be released. I would have gone up to sit with him, but I had the kids asleep in bed, and since it wasn't severe, I didn't call anyone to come watch them so I could go up.

He was bored, so he was calling and texting co-workers to share a laugh. One person he called, apparently, was his mom (they both like to share a good story.)

When he finally got home (well after 1am!) I asked him if he had slept or just sat there bored. He said no, his mom just showed up to sit with him. (She is nearly 1.5 hours away from the hospital, and has to drive right past our house to get there.)

I'm truly bothered (not upset, really, just weirded out) that she didn't think that was more MY place, to be with my husband, and that she didn't offer to look after the kids so I could be with him instead.

Am I thinking into it too much? [/quote]
