Mariah had to admit herself to the hospital for a checkup because she had been experiencing health issues recently. However, in her absence, her children made the decision to rent her house out through Airbnb so that they could keep the money for themselves.
Mariah made the decision to teach her children a lesson when she found out. On the phone, my friend Liz asked Mariah, “Why is your house listed as an Airbnb?
” “What?
” I questioned, completely perplexed.
What are you discussing?
” Denise found your house while looking for a place to rent for the weekend because it was her bachelorette weekend. Are you still in the hospital, don’t you?
” She inquired. I looked at the IV drip that was draining into my bloodstream and said, “Liz, I truly have no idea what you’re talking about.
” Send me the website’s link, Denise.
“This is how I imparted a valuable lesson to my children:
My blood pressure had fluctuated recently, resulting in occasional fainting. Liam, my son, said, “You have to get it checked out, Mom.
” If you think taking over-the-counter medication will help, there is no point in going to the pharmacy. You must conduct thorough evaluations of everything.
My daughter Leah said, “And you need to start eating better.
” It is not a balanced diet to eat oats in the morning, toast during the day, and soup at night.
You are compromising your health. It’s time to pay attention to the details.
“Leah moved around my kitchen, slicing vegetables for a salad she was making to go with the grilled chicken she had been marinating,” said the cook. What about your recurring headaches, too?
It is time to examine everything.
Liam stated, “You ought to go to the hospital and have a full examination.
” Despite the headaches and dizziness, I feel fine; I’m fine! ” I replied.
My children rolled their eyes and snorted. Leah instructed me, pointing my finger at me, “Do it, Mom.
” They had to win me over.
Recently, I had been downplaying my health.
I continued to walk every other day and practice yoga as much as I could during the week. Nevertheless, there was a persistent sense that something might be wrong.
When we met for smoothies one day after our yoga class, Liz advised, “Just go to silence that feeling. ” However, what if we uncover something?
I asked because I was suddenly afraid to say what I was thinking.
After that, we’ll tackle it together.
Liz stated, “I know Paul is no longer here, but I am here. ” In any case, we require your availability for Denise’s wedding.
I don’t know how to do things for the mother of the bride. I stated, “I’ll go to the GP and take it from there.
” I’ll do exactly that if he decides that’s the best course of action.
Yes, Mariah,” the physician replied.
I think that having a full-body exam is a great idea. Simply being aware of your body and health is fine.
Additionally, I will suggest a CT scan for your headaches. Which is how I ended up in the hospital and how my kids decided to take advantage of the circumstance.
The nurse said, “I’ll bring your lunch soon,” smiling at me.
After your CT scan, just rest.
” I replied, “Thank you. ” I’ll just call my closest friend and talk to her.
When I caught up with Liz, I found out that my kids had made my house available as an Airbnb for the week I was supposed to be in the hospital. So, what are your plans for dealing with it?
When Liz called me back after I confirmed that my house was on the site, she questioned me.
I confessed, “I don’t know.
However, I want to instruct them. Both Leah and Liam deserved better.
However, Leah and her husband are always on the lookout for additional sources of income. Andrew, I’m sure, has a gambling problem as well.
Liz chewed something into my ear and said, “Tell me what you want me to do.
” I said, “I want you to tell Denise to book it.
” However, since they will recognize her, she probably needs to create a new account. Do you think that will go over well with her?
” “Of course, she will! ” Liz stated, ” Anything you need.
But what next?
” I stated, “I will be discharged tomorrow.
” However, the kids believe I will remain here until the end of the week. Therefore, give them the impression that they will profit from the location.
You don’t want Denise to rent the place; rather, you want to ruin it? Liz guffawed.
That is deceitful.
I responded, “No, my children are devious.
” After I disconnected the call, the nurse brought me lunch so that I could eat on my own while she went about her rounds. Honestly, I had no idea how I felt about my children’s betrayal.
However, the thought that my children were perfectly content with having strangers take over my home while I was away at the hospital hurt. What were their thoughts?
I pondered it.
People using the mugs I had hand-painted or sitting in their father’s worn armchair hadn’t bothered them.
Even though Paul had passed away a few years earlier, it still felt like his chair. I said to myself, “No.
” I’m going to punish these kids. Despite warnings to reduce my stress, I was discharged the next morning with a clean bill of health.
Mariah, and monitor your cholesterol,” my doctor advised.
Eat a lot of vegetables with green leaves.
I took the car to Liz’s house, where I planned to wait for Denise to arrive with my keys. Are you certain of this?
” Liz inquired while buttering a lemon and poppy seed muffin and making me a cup of tea. Yes, I replied.
They’ll have to take real responsibility for their actions in this way.
A few hours later, I went home.
The house stood out in a different way. I was certain that someone else had been staying there because the smell was differen
