[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 393400, member: 84"] Wow. That was more than a bit[B] bold[/B] of the sister. And more than a bit rude as well. I was put off instantly, and I'm not even involved. ugh My response would have been Where is the family and what are they doing to help? Because seriously? While friends often do help some in such situations when and where they are able...........it is your friends[B] family[/B] that need to be stepping up to the plate. Why is this sister deciding that it is up to friends to help? That is actually sort of odd.........or is it just me? And believe me, I'm one of the most helpful people I know.......almost to a fault. When bff had MRSA and an enormous gaping unhealing infected wound in her abdomen with 2 young children to care for I was there every day to help out and to change her dressings and the like. No one in her family would have dared to say such a thing to her friends. I did it because I lived across the street, I had the spare time, and I had the training to do the dressing changes properly. No one asked me to do anything. Honestly, I would do what you'd normally would have done if this sister had not confronted you. YOUR family and priorities come first, then if you have some spare time and you want to help out......great, wonderful. That's how it works. Wow. I know you're really close to your friend and the family. But man that took some nerve on sis's part. hugs [/QUOTE]
