My step-sister had her baby last night by emergency c-section after 18 hours of horrific labour. She is all of about 4'9 and 45kg, and baby was 8lb 1oz, and wasn't able to come out naturally as he wouldn't fit! She is doing well and MY father has been by her bedside the WHOLE time.
I am quite close to my step-sister, but I am really really disappointed in my dad as he didn't come to see me and Sam for FIVE WHOLE BLOODY DAYS after I had him because he was at work. He has taken the whole week off work to be with her and even rushed back to Hamilton on his way to work to be with her when she went into labour.
I am really upset also because all day yesterday my step-sister was asking for me and wanting me to be there and dad turned all their phones off and didn't bother to let me know what was happening. She had texted me at 5AM to let me know that she was in labour and going into hospital and that she would make sure that someone got hold of me to let me know what was happening so that I could go and visit her because she really wanted me to be there, and she was there for me straight after I had Sam. But no. Nobody called, nobody texted, I worried all day about it and the only reason I found out she had the baby was because I finally got a hold of my dad who then said I wasn't allowed to visit because she was in shock and it was a family time. WTF?!?!?! I am family, but obviously not enough for him to want me around.
He said he would call me first thing this morning to let me know what was happening because and if he would take me up to see her.
But no, no phone call, nothing. I am so disappointed in him.
Sorry, this wasn't meant to be a big rant about my dad, it was meant in congratulations for my sister.
Grr.
