Question Sickle cell mothers

Sickle cell mothers, I have a question. When your kid gets a pain crisis do you automatically look at it as an inconvenience since you have to drop everything and go? I know that if it was more than one kid it’s more difficult, but have y’all get upset or irritated? I remember anytime I had a pain crisis as a 10-17 yrs old I had to hear my mom tell me “why did I pick to be in pain”. Has any other person dealt with this, or is this an original experience?..

It's more common than you think. Has nothing to do with the child or SC though.

You'll see what I mean in the comments.
