My mom's in the hospital.

[ninjabridemom]

I am honestly worried this will happen w my parents.

I am so glad she is okay!!

[moolarkey]

I'm glad she's ok and I agree with you - go.

[kevin arnold]

Oh no! I hope it all goes well and that she has a fast recovery.

UGH, my mom does this, except when it's other people. Once, she called me as she was LEAVING my great aunt's funeral to tell me she died ("oh, I just didn't think to tell you earlier" WTF???). Another time, she called me to "warn" me my aunt (her sister) was rip-roaring livid at me for not calling my grandmother because she had been in the hospital for a week, and no one ever told me she was sick to begin with.

I'm sorry your mom is sick, but I'm glad your dad told you and you will be there with her.

I'm so sorry, but I am glad she is ok.

That must be hard on your dad

[ginandjucie24]

I sorry. I am glad she is ok.

It's hard to see our parents grow older.

Im glad she is okay. While I would be infuriated I can see why parents often do this. she didn't want to worry her kids. But ya.. I would be angry. So glad she is okay though

I'm glad she's ok!

My MIL has done crap like this. If her doctor hadn't made her tell us to get ourselves tested, we never would have found out that she had TB (luckily, no one else got it and she's fine).

My mom pulls this shit all the time. She did it over the summer while I was on vacation and my sister ended up being the one to tell me. Several years ago she had been really sick so I went home to give my dad a hand with stuff around the house and she ended up going to the ER while I was there. She told me I wasn't allowed to tell my sisters we were going. I told her I wouldn't call them, but if they called me to check in I wouldn't lie for her.

I'm sorry that is a terrible situation to be in.

My grandparents pulled this shit with my poor mom all the time. We are on the East Coast and they are on the West Coast and their logic was that they didn't want to worry her. I totally side eye my aunt though for going along with their bullshit. I mean my grandfather was treated for CANCER and they didn't tell her. My mom finally lost her shit on them all and told them how hurtful their actions were. Personally, I feel like my aunt was/is the biggest problem because then she can play the martyr daughter card.

I'm so glad she's okay. That would be so frustrating. I'm glad your dad told you.

[meganew]

I'm sorry. My grandmother does this all the time and it's so frustrating. She'd try to pepper it into conversation later like its nbd, like "Oh, so we finally tried that new restaurant, it was pretty good. Then your grandfather was in the hospital for two days, then we went to that live music series at the park." Wtf.

[NothingWrongwithOhio]

I'm glad she's okay.

And I'm annoyed because my mother oscillates wildly between doing this ("oh, grandma just had a major surgery two weeks ago, NBD!") and blowing incredibly minor things completely out of proportion ("Your brother sprained his ankle playing hockey and he may never play adult rec league again!" *sob*). I need to get all the real family news from other people.

[Champagne Supernova]

I'm glad she's okay!

My parents pulled this shit on me a couple of times in the past year. Like, I'm always the last one to know because I live in a different state and it frustrates the shit out of me. I get that they don't want me to worry but OMG, I don't want to get a phonecall when it's already too late!

[flex]

I know the feeling. My mom does this sometimes.

I'm glad your mom is okay.

[mekia]

I'm sorry. I'm glad she is okay.
