My 84 year old mother recently had a small fall and is suffering from bruised ribs and a broken toe.
She did this last wednesday morning by stumbling in her bedroom.
I am my mums main carer ( I live 5 miles away) and stayed the night with her the first night it happened as she was shook up, and i visit everyday anyway, but have been at her house all day every day the last week to take care of her- doctors, washing , ironing, shopping, gardening, bathing etc.
I needed today 'off' as it were, as I had to catch up with a number of things . My sister said she would visit for an hour or so- and she took her husband.She knows my mum is on strong painkillers, but took a bottle of champagne with her and all 3 sat in the garden and drank this-unbeknown to me.
I rang my mum to check on her at about 3 oclock today, and it was clear something was wrong as she sounded funny.. I rang my sister to ask if she had seen my mum take too many tablets/have a drink and she said 'no'
My mum then rang me at 6 to tell me my sister had bought the champagne in question

I am really angry- a. because my sister lied to me. b. because i do all the mundane jobs, pay for my mums house and all her bills, take her to hospital when necessary ( my sister doesnt 'do' hospitals she says)-- and then my sister gives my mum drink after she has had a fall.

I could honestly cry--i try and get my mum better then she gives her drink. My mum of course loved it-but then she would cos she's on tablets and is now out of it.

am i being uneccessarily harsh. I'm really fed up.

I don't think anyone is saying that Mum doesn't have rights.
It's that the sister was deceitful when it came to explaining exactly what had occured thereby depriving tingly of the opportunity of ensuring that Mum was 'safe' afterwards. tingly would have, I assume, made sure that she spent the afternoon at her Mum's house keeping an eye on her, had she been in...
