You'd think someone could bring you a loaf of bread....
We ran out of milk last night, and of course, I'm not up and about from my hernia surgery on Monday. The kid doesn't drive.

He texted someone (the kid who picks him up for drill practice in the morning) to get them to bring a gallon of milk. It didn't happen. So, no cereal. I went to make toast and the bread is moldy.

I was home all day, and yes, I had food to eat, but jeez, you'd think I could get a little help... a little company....

When I called my son I asked him to bring milk and bread home w/ him. He got the milk, but the store didn't have any bread (mind you, there's another store about a quarter of a mile down the road...)

I've been trying to do w/o my meds (they''re causing some irregularity that I'm growing increasingly uncomfortable with) so I'm in pain, irregular, lonely, and there's no damn bread, milk, or eggs in the house.

You always get told that what goes around, comes around. When I think of all the times when people were sick... the meals I cooked, the runs to the market for them, rides to the doctor,.... all the things I've tried to be helpful about.

So how come it's not "coming around"?

2. Why are you being so nice?
NOW is the time to play the guilt card.
NOW is the time to demand better treatment.
You have every right to demand better treatment from your son.

As to the company, well there's nothing finer that the good folks right here. Prop yourself up with pillows and enjoy!

I hope you feel better soon. :hug:
