- My Dad does this ALL the time. Well before he moved in with me. Now he can't hide it. - Redmond May 12, 20:01 15
  - my folks do this for the more minor stuff (if getting hit in the head with a falling tree and having it shatter your jaw is minor - kare May 12, 20:08 3
    - apparently our rule is that my brother (the oldest) calls the rest of us, even though my sister is local. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 20:11 2
      - we have pretty much zero extended family, so that helps matters too. -- nm - kare May 12, 20:12 1
        
        sometimes (most times?) extended family makes things ... complicated. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 20:33
  - dear God. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 20:02 10
    - I immediately made him list me as the emergency contact at the VA -- nm - Redmond May 12, 20:02 9
      - Anyway my point is. My Dad does this same shit. I sympathise with your frustration peeps. -- nm - Redmond May 12, 20:03
      - If my dad this this I would FREAK. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 20:03 7
        
        When I was having my heart issue I told my wife not to call my Mom. - Redmond May 12, 20:05 6
        
        That said! There is no fucking way I am letting my Mom find out by a cousin posting "your son is having a heart attack" - Redmond May 12, 20:07 5
        
        Eh, we're cutting her some slack. She's 16 - didn't realize nobody else knew. -- nm - kelly May 12, 20:12 2
        
        Fair enough. In this case it's almost better that she posted otherwise how much longer would you not know? - Redmond May 12, 20:14 1
        
        He got a phone call on his way to the ER, so he would have known eventually - just not in such a dramatic fashion. - kelly May 12, 20:16
        
        that's the thing. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 20:10
        
        right? i think it's insensitive of the cousin too -- nm - kare May 12, 20:09
- that sucks, in every way. So sorry you guys have to deal with this. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 19:59
