My mum has a horrible habit of telling me 3 days after my dad has been admitted to hospital as she doesn't want to worry me...(just an ongoing issue, obviously, but thats another thread lol).

So I like to give her some stick about it from time to time

I told her after one such "anything happening" phone call "nah, I would have to wait at least 3 days until after the baby was born before I tell ya"..

She got the message and I no longer have to wait 3 days before finding out when Dad is in hospital lol!
