DH, DS & DD & I managed to get away for 8 days
My parents live behind us in their own house, but I am Mums main carer.
Prior to going on holiday Mum thought she had a UTI.
Got that checked... she didn't. Then she had aches & pains. How was she going to cope, who was going to give her her tablets, was her phone bill paid etc
On the Friday before, I left, I had work.
That morning, 7am just as I went to reverse my car out the garage Mum was standing right behind my car still in her nightie Was her power bill paid? Boy that gave me a fright
All Mum & Dads bills are paid automatically, and have done for years.
Mum went to my sisters for 4 days. Dad stayed at home on his own.
My sister had to take her home,as she had work, but my Invisible brother played his part and came backwards & forwards checking up on Mum especially with taking her tablets.
I had my mobile phn with me the whole time, and rang Mum every day.
Where are you? Are you having a good holiday? Your brothers on my back to take my tablets. When are you coming home? I don't think you should go away so far next time. ( we were 6 hrs drive away)
Funnily enough once I left she didn't mention any aches & pains to my sister the whole time.
My sister wondered if it was stress of the thought of me going away or attention seeking or both?
Could do with another week off tho
