Mom upset for not seeing my grandmother and family on New Year's (person, holiday)

[RunD1987]

So here's the story. Grandmother went to the hospital Thursday before Christmas. Worked Christmas Eve and spent holiday's with fiancé family/mine. Couldn't see the Grandmother till day after Christmas. The following two days after that I worked and one day a 16 so couldn't see her.

The grandmother was getting discharged from the hospital Tuesday so my Aunt took care of her during that time. Then my fiancé came sick we originally planned to go Wednesday, but had to bail with fiancé being sick. I worked Thursday and off today.

Today was original plan to see my grandmother, but been I'll throwing up the work's. My mom doesn't believe it feels I making up excuses, my mom in the past thinks I make up being sick one time throwing up for 3 day's didn't believe.

My mom still wants me to come today, but I can barely stand up with out feeling nauseous and making a run to the bathroom.

Any suggestions?

Under no circumstances should someone who has the stomach flu visit an elderly person, especially someone just out of the hospital.


You would feel absolutely horrible if your grandmother got sick and died because she got sick from you.


Tell your mother the truth "I'm throwing up. I have diarrhea. I do not want to risk getting anyone else sick."

DO NOT go see your old, ill grandmother if you are throwing up! That kind of illness can kill an elderly person.

Yes, good advice, but GI illness isn't the flu. The flu is a respiratory illness with a bad cough. What he has is something else, most likely norovirus.

You don't want to give your grandma, or anyone else, norovirus. Stand your ground. Not visiting is in everyone's best interest.

Ignore your mother.

This is the 4th thread you've made in a month about pretty much the same thing. You think you're ready to cut off your family, but if you can't even stand up to your mother when you have a legitimate reason to do so, I have to wonder if you're truly ready to stand on your own two feet and cut the cord. If you are, just do it.

Invite your mother to your place for a visit.

Yep.

You have GOT to get a grip on this, OP.

I bet some of your nausea is stress.

Been standing up not much energy today. Almost wanted to deck her in the face after calling me a fface and not caring about the family. Then yelled at me for not flushing the toliet I didn't flush to prove wasn't a liar.
