Last night, I was awoken (is that a word?) ever 15 minutes by the sound of my 2 yr old cousin screaming her head off. Seems she's having problems going to the bathroom so she holds it in, until it hurts.
Do you think my aunt will take her to the doctor? No. She gives a lame ass excuse every day why she hasn't taken her.
Yesterday was the last straw for me. She took in all our recycled cans for money (cuz she has NONE) and went on a shopping spree. All the while, using "I have no money" as an excuse as to why her child is in horrific pain EVERY 15 MINUTES.
It's horrible. Last night when I got home the baby crawled into my arms and fell asleep from the exhaustion of being in so much pain for the last EIGHT HOURS. I felt so bad for her and I'll never forget the "help me" look she gave me before she slowly climbed back into the horrific pain she's in.
Dude, you KNOW that's gotta hurt. Like, not being able to go to the bathroom. You know you've had that horrible stomach pain before. Imagine the contractions every 15 minutes on a small frame. Plus, she's a baby so she doesn't know what to do.
She can't look at her parents for guidance. Because, frankly, I think they get off on the attention they get from everyone because of these horrible things that she's going thru.
It's pathetic.
And it breaks my heart.
So at 6 this morning, Rowdy and I woke up and he just looked at me so upset at hearing the baby scream. He's a dog, for Christ's sake, and HE is upset by it all.
Why can't her parents be?
