Get the hell out of here!
posted 12th Jan
The three of us (SO, DS and I) were in the ER until 6am today, as I was told by my insurance's nurse hotline that I needed to seek care within the hour for a possible internal bleeding in my stomach or an ulcer; I had an entirely black stool, which can be cause for alarm, and could need immediate attention.
Turns out they couldn't find the cause behind it, but there was no blood in the stool sample they took, so we could at least cross that off the list.
When we got home, Liam didn't feel like sleeping - though he rightly should have, after being up way past his usual bedtime in a strange, loud and well-lit place - and played on the floor for another hour and a half while I finished up some things around the house and Aaron passed out on the couch. He finally got all his energy out and we were able to lay him down before 8am, which is when we, too, crawled in bed. Less than four hours later, Aaron gets a text from his father saying he, his wife and Aaron's cousins from out of town are in our building, waiting to be let in so they can come meet me and Liam. All fine and good, but holy smurf, rude, just dropping by for a surprise visit when we're all exhausted and Liam's still snoozin'.
Now is when I wish Aaron was better at standing up for himself. The poor guy wakes up every day at 430am for work and did yesterday, but had to stay up until 8am watching Liam while I was getting care. The guy needs some smurfing rest, Jesus Christ. Get the hell out of here! I want to walk out into the living room and tell them myself, but Aaron would cave and not put his foot down with me.
Aaron has to go to work at 230pm today and they're still here, just sucking up his time to possibly get a little more rest before a really long, stressful shift. I hate in-laws sometimes, especially these ones. They're so presumptuous and think they're entitled to see us whenever the hell they please, despite our schedule. It's all about them and what they want. I'm so ready to move far away from this place.

I would tell them the situation, I would want to leave if someone told me they had been up until 8 am.

And they even know what our night and morning were like and they're still here, being loud as hell, chatting and visiting away.

I don't know if I could contain myself in that situation.

Worst part is they've been told and show no sign of caring. But yeh, that would be the normal, polite response. Not really their thing, it seems.

I would tell them anyways. I hate when people just stop by. My family knows better but DH's family does that from time to time. We both have told them not to do it, so now when they do try to do it, we just tell them they need to leave, and they can come back another day when we were ready for them. Anyways, I would be as polite as possible, but explain to them you were in the hospital all night, and none of you have slept. That sounds like a damn good reason to not want company to me. Good luck hun, and I hope they leave soon.

I know I can't, so I'm staying in the bedroom and haven't come out. You'd think that'd be a sign to 'em too, if straight up telling them the situation doesn't do it, but alas. They're idiots.

Ugh I'm sorry

Thanks, so do I. But it's been two hours now and they show no sign of leaving. Ugh.

Late reply, I know, but wow. I am so sorry you went through that. ): The ER trip, the in-laws...all of it. Hopefully nothing serious is wrong!
My mother-in-law once showed up unannounced while I was showering. :/ I heard someone beating on the door and it scared the hell out of me since my husband was gone for the day in a different city and I thought maybe something happened. I opened the door to find my mother-in-law, who was huffy about me taking too long to answer and the fact that her son wasn't home. Wow, maybe if you'd called ahead you'd know?
But seriously, I hope you guys got some rest eventually! And hopefully you guys can get a break from in-laws. I can't tell you how many times we've considered moving ourselves, heh.
