My husbands cousin’s wife .. I guess I could call her my cousin-in-law, is driving me nuts! Since I’m a nurse she calls me up or sends me an email every time she’s sick or has some kind of health related question. As you might imagine, with Swine Flu in the news last week she called me at least three times a day!
Do you have any friends or relatives like that? People that ask your advice about something your knowledgeable about because of your work? Doesn’t it drive you nuts?
She’s calmer now about the flu … but now she wants to lose weight so she’s sending me questions about how to lose weight fast and sending me links to places like the atro phex review site for me to read and advice her!
** Big eye roll **
I think that I’m just not going to answer the phone or her email for a week or so and maybe she’ll get the hint.
My wife and her sister are also nurses. But we do not have any hypochondriac relatives like you do.
Their favorite trick is to talk ‘hospital stories’ at family gatherings (anonymously of course). They get into the nitty gritty of wound care. It totally grosses out some family members and the rest of us all laugh!
