She’s Furious That Her Aunt Keeps Dropping Her Sick Nephew At Her House Because She’s Going In For Surgery Soon And Cannot Become Ill Before The Procedure
One week ago, this woman’s aunt brought her 13-year-old and 9-year-old sons to her family’s house while she and her daughter drove to a concert that was two hours away.
She currently lives at home, and she has a large family.
Today, she is scheduled to have an elective surgery, and her entire family has been aware of it.
“This is also, quite honestly, a lifesaving surgery for me, and I’d like to mention that for elective surgeries, you can’t have any sort of illness. They want you to be healthy when going in because it’s ELECTIVE. Both of her kids were sick with some kind of respiratory illness,” she said.
Because her nephews were sick and staying at her house, she and her sisters began wearing masks and being extremely thorough with handwashing and cleanliness to avoid getting sick.
Right now, one of her sisters is in recovery after a terrible injury to her knee. Her sister cut her knee open, so she had to receive seven stitches.
Understandably, she and her sisters were furious that their aunt did this, but they didn’t voice their frustrations.
“Unfortunately, my sister with the knee injury ended up catching whatever it was, and my other sister who was taking care of her also ended up catching it. Luckily, I didn’t catch it, and hopefully I don’t before my surgery,” she explained.
On Wednesday, two days before her surgery, her aunt came over to her family’s house again with all her children, and her youngest son was still sick.

She was bothered and annoyed that her aunt brought over her sick child again, but she didn’t tell her this at first.
Later, her aunt asked her why she had removed herself from the family group chats.
In response, she told her aunt the truth: she was angry and didn’t want to speak to anyone.
Then, on Thursday, the day before her surgery, her aunt dropped off her youngest son, who was obviously still sick, before going with her oldest son and her daughter to a movie.
By this point, she was fed up.
“So, I made a group chat with everyone in it and told them off. Then, I got told I was ‘starting drama.’ I didn’t realize that advocating for my health and well-being was drama?” she shared.
She’s furious because it seems like no one in her family cares about the fact that she’s having this surgery or understands that she will be going through an intense recovery process afterward.
In her view, her aunt drops off her children like they’re dogs that she leaves with someone else so that she can go do fun things without them, rather than bringing them all along with her.
What advice would you give her?
