[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I spent yesterday in the ER. Mom to 4 (3 teens) and DH. Usually Christmas Eve is the big day. Huge dinner. I bought all groceries already. I send my husband home while I’m in the ER. They want to admit me for pain management and to see a specialist Monday. I choose discharge to see my family. Come home to a filthy house at 8pm and my husband trying to cook the prime rib. I barely salvage the meal that I don’t eat. Teens all on couches on phones. Managed to have Santa arrive. Teens are all now sitting among mess with their $$$ presents, and the house is still a mess. My DH just came in asking why I need to rest. Maybe I should have chosen hospital admission….[/quote]

Oh that's awful. I hope you are feeling better and that the specialist can help. You really need to sit down and have a family meeting. I've been in a similar situation and I had to sit everyone down, calmly, and tell them that 1) I need help 2) this is what they need to do and 3) I am disappointed in them

Sometimes we are taken for granted because we do everything for everyone so quietly and seamlessly. Make some noise and take some time for yourself. [/quote]

I would have lost my shit, I can totally picture the phones and the expensive gifts in my mind.[/quote]
