lorrainejmc Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 My brother, who is 40, married with 2 kids just asked me to call his Dr. at 8.30am to make an appointment for his ds tomorrow. Why? Because they don't get up on time to secure a same day appointment.:001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquirrellyMama Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 That sounds like something my 38 year old brother would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chepyl Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 We have a late night schedule, I am not usually up before 9am; I do however set my alarm for 8am if I need a dr appointment. Make the call, go back to sleep. It is no big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NatashainDFW Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I am the one that gets my mom to call and make sure I am awake if I have to be up earlier than normal. I am not a morning person, I never have been. I am normally up by the time she calls but having that backup plan is very helpful. She has saved me a couple times calling me even when I haven't asked because she was worried storms in the area would knock out electricity lol.

Bluegoat Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I don't know. I would do this for my siblings, though i would laugh at them and tell everyone about it at the family reunion. When I was in university, my sister used to call the student loan people pretending to be me and try to work out the problems they were giving me, because she knew I was non-confrontational and wouldn't do it. I guess she was enabling my extreme introversion, but I really appreciated it. So far I haven't asked her to bear my children or anything.

I guess I'm an uber-enabler. Are you the little sister? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
