Bill has been asking for lasagna lately so this week I got my recipe box out and was looking at the recipe while Tay was water coloring...wellll my recipe ended up multicolored and unreadable-but it was a very pretty picture Anyway it is MIL recipe which means to make it I was gonna have to call her (has to be like Grandma's ) So I called (OK I let Tay leave the message ) She calls back today and Tay answered and they are chatting and Tay says OK tell me slow I will tell my mommy. My MIL was telling her the recipe so I could write it down and we wouldn't have to talk- FINE by me until Tay says Grandpa is sick? He is in the Hospital??? I say Tay let me talk to Grandma really quick....Turns out my FIL is in the hospital and has been since last week. He has had 18 inches of intestine removed and is still on oxygen,feeding tube,morphine and they don't know when he will get out.... OK we have had our differences and Bill and I have reached out more than once and finally grew tired of the drama his sister was always involved in BUT we never tried to keep Tay away from them we never closed our home to them...that was all their doing to keep the peace with his sister. But OMG if his dad is sick they couldn't call???? Bill is pretty upset and I think his feelings are hurt Anyway we are going up there first thing n the morning so he can see his dad and now so Tay can see Grandpa and know he is OK....I just can't believe that they did not call to at least let Bill know! It is so typical! Anywho sorry for the vent-It just irritates me so bad that parents can treat one child (and the one who was not the problem child) the way they do!!!

Calimama replied: How sad that they wouldn't even call. Sometimes people let their differences get the best of them.

Nina J replied: That's very sad. I would feel devestated if I were your husband.

Insanemomof3 replied: That is horrible!!! So sorry to hear about his dad and hope he gets better. I don't understand families who do stuff like that....its sad.

redplaydoh replied: That's sad that they feel the differences are enough to keep from calling... I hope everyone gets past this soon and can put all these hurt feelings behind them. I hope Tay's grandpa is feeling much better soon too.

gr33n3y3z replied: I hope everything is ok with his Dad and your right how can she do that to him
I will keep him in my prayers

amymom replied: Grandpa is in my prayers.

I somewhat understand what you are going through. My MIL never told us when FIL was ill, but not out of ill will so that part I fortunately do not deal with. But I understand the feelings of not being kept in the loop.

lisar replied: I cant blieve they didnt even call. As if yall wouldnt care or something. Well I hope everything is good.

JP&KJMOM replied: Mnay hugs to you, Bill and Tay. I am shocked but not shocked that they did not call. Keep us posted on him.

Boys r us replied: That's insane!!! I'm sorry! I can defintiely imagine that Bill's feelings were hurt!
I hope all goes well on your visit there!

Kaitlin'smom replied: I can understand the hurt, I can count the number of times latly that grandma has fallen and they dont tell us. I honestly think she is worse off then they will tell us, physically.

Sorry you had to find out that way. Hope he is doing better.

amynicole21 replied: Wow - that's crazy! The same exact thing just happened to my friends FIL (well, he had his stomach removed due to stomach cancer) and they didn't call because they are feuding. I hope your FIL is ok.

Kirstenmumof3 replied: I hope your FIL gets better soon! And I agree that it was pretty rude of them not to tell you!

I had this happen. I had basically had a falling out with my Dad's family. They are all alcoholics. Anyway when the published the article in the paper about Spencer my Grandmother called, she really upset me! So my Dad talked to her and told her that is was none of her business and if she did want to know anything to leave me alone and call him! Well that lead to his sister calling and now they're all angry at each all over again!
