[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So they get a paper cut but tell you they slices their arm open and are on the floor bleeding profusely? Tell them to send you a picture of it.

And also, recognize they are lonely for you and want your attention. They want you to WANT to fuss all over them and make them feel special. [/quote]

I think any of us who dealt with this know it's attention seeking behavior. The last thing a person should do it reinforce this type of behavior. OP is 2 steps from estrangement and likely these are not people who get their needs met in healthy ways. It is dehumanizi9ng to think OP is just some object to manipulate.

In emergencies you drop everything. Your kids absorb the stress. Many times I have injured myself rushing around and trying to get my ducks in a row to race to the parents. I almost got in a car accident once after mom was hysterical on the phone. I have had heart palpitations after hysterical calls. You race there and then...it's something that is not an emergency. OP is a human being and her/his life and safety matters too.[/quote]
