[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All these people who would get out of bed to watch their adult child get stitches (or a cast, or whatever) at 9 at night are insane!

And the timeline OP provides -- 9pm to 1am, and the MIL having a 90 minute drive -- means she spent all of 2.5 hours with her son, and that's assuming she left her house in a hurry the second he called! (Which I'm sure she didn't, because I'm sure he was dealing with intake and his employer, perhaps, and calling his wife, before he called his mom.)

It's insane! [/quote]

[b]I[/b] wouldn't. I'm lazy.

But some people truly value spending time with family, which is what it seems like happened with OP's husband and his mom. That's sweet.

The replies calling the MIL insane, desperate, and/or crazy really illuminate why rates of depression, antidepressant med use, and anti-anxiety med use are high in this country. People see regular displays of affection as something egregious. No wonder people are so unhappy and isolated.[/quote]
