Night Elf Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 My dd24 is having a dental problem and she wants me to go with her to the dentist today. She just wants her mom with her. Poor thing. I wish I could wave a mommy magic wand and make the pain go away. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Once a mommy always a mommy. My mom is here right now because she knew I needed her--she got on a plane and flew from out of state.

ErinE Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 When I needed surgery, I called my mom and asked her to come see me. I don't think you're ever too old to not need your mom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 This is true. I still call my mom when I need medical advice. The funny thing is I can usually answer those same questions when my kids ask me for advice, but somehow when I'm the sick one, I need my mom to reassure me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyandbob Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 My mom is the last person I want when sick. She doesn't do sick well. I have no memories of her really caring for me when sick. I do have memories of feeling like an inconvenience. When my sister was hospitalized after a car accident my mom took off work to stay with her. My sister, in college at the time, said it was awful. If any procedure caused discomfort or pain (catheterization, resetting/pushing broken bone into place) mom would get disgusted if my sister cried. I went to a prenatal appointment with my oldest and was told I needed further testing at the hospital. They told me not to drive so my mom who lives nearby came and drove me. As soon as I could I called dh and asked him to find his way to the hospital and get my mom out of there. He had no car, but a co-worker volunteered to drive him. Anyway, my mom is just not good at the nurturing sick thing. I've tried to be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want my own mom for anything. She's a narcissist and we've been estranged for many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyandbob Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 OP it's really nice your DD counts on you and you can help. Being an emotional support is special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 I bet it's her one wisdom tooth. It can also be an abscessed baby tooth that never fell out. Both are on the same side. This could mean surgery. I'm truly grateful she's back on our insurance this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
