Just wondering if I am acting childish????

I don't think so. What does it take to make a 2 min phone call to see how you are doing? It's just plain rude.

Nah, I don't expect anything from anyone, except my immediate family. If you learn to live like this, life is a whole lot easier. Heck, my mom rarely remembers my birthday... no biggie. I still age, LOL!

It's okay to have your feelings hurt- but you should probably call her back.

Okay....I don't think it's childish that your feelings are hurt. Feelings are feelings, and you can't always control them. I do think ignoring your sister-in-law's call this morning was a bit on the childish side, too.

Also, have you considered that maybe they were trying to be considerate of you? When I broke my ankle 3 years ago, I had to have surgery to repair it. My grandmother was desperate to know I was done with surgery and home safe, but she didn't call me. She gave me a couple of days to get settled again. Instead, she called my mother to confirm that I'd had my surgery and was home safe and sound. I didn't get all butt hurt about it. Honestly, I kind of appreciated it. Getting up to get the phone was not easy for me, so as much as I love my grandma, it would've bugged me to have to get up and get the phone, or get one of my kids to get it for me.

"childish side, too" was supposed to be "childish side, though".

I agree with wendythewriter. They may also held the opinion you or DH would have called if anything was wrong.

Well, it depends on the surgery, honestly. There's a difference between minor & major and routine & non-routine. Like if you were put under to have your wisdom teeth removed or something, then I can totally understand them not calling you (since it would be difficult for you to talk for a while & you'd be drugged up for a few days).

I know it was you that had the surgery, not him. I don't see how my answer would change either way, though.

Brain surgery seems to me to be a good reason not to call and bother you. I would assume you'd probably be exhausted, probably in at least a little pain, and would not want to bother you so soon after such a major ordeal.

Did they get what they wanted to get? Will it help you? I hope it all went well.
