Brandi Glanville is angry at LeAnn Rimes for not informing her that she took her 7-year-old son Mason to the emergency room last weekend.
On Saturday, the country singer, 28, Twittered: "Flew home for 5 hrs to see Eddie [Cibrian] & the lil one's and ended up in the ER! Everybody's fine, just a minor kiddo accident. Boys will be boys!"

Glanville, 36, tells E! News she was shocked she had to learn about the incident via Twitter -- and not from Rimes herself.
"All I know is I didn't get a phone call," she tells E! News. "Poor choice. Bad parenting."
Glanville says she eventually found out her son had split his chin.
"I don't know how exactly it happened, but Mason told me LeAnn had oil on her hardwood floors and he fell," she says. "Eddie didn't bother to call me and I showed up to Mason's soccer game that day only to get a text from Eddie afterwards saying Mason wouldn't be playing since he was in the ER all morning."
A Rimes rep says it was "a minor slip" and that "Eddie and LeAnn were with him the whole time, and he is all smiles now."
Nevertheless, Glanville says she is "disappointed" over the way it was handled.
"I'm the mother of these two boys and if we're going to co-parent, we have to do that together," she says. "It's not call me after."
She also sats it wasn't the first time her children have been hurt under Rimes' eye: Her 3-year-old son Jake sustained an injury while playing on the singer's tour bus.
"The last time they had the boys, Jake ended up getting seven stitches," she says. "I had to call in a plastic surgeon to stitch up Jake's forehead."
Glanville stresses that she doesn't think her boys are in danger now that they're living with Rimes.
"The only thing that's in danger is our co-parenting relationship if [LeAnn] keeps involving herself and doesn't allow [Eddie] to call me," she says.

Rimes recently shot back on Twitter, writing: "To be really honest, it's not her place to tell me how to be. I respect her as their mom, but she has to understand they're in my life. I can talk about my life just like she can [talk] about her's.
"Just so you know, she has never spoken to me," she continued. "This IS my life too and they are in it 50% of the time ... I've stepped into a very tough, but rewarding role ... I treat those boys like they are my own because that's how I love."

Us Weekly first reported that Rimes and Cibrian, 37, famously had an affair shooting a Lifetime movie last year. She later divorced husband of nearly eight years, Dean Sheremet; Cibrian also split from Glanville.
Rimes tells the October issue of Shape that she cheated because she was in an unfulfilling marriage.
The singer explained, "I think any relationship is hard to get out of, and I don't think the way I did it was right."

39lmao, I love how Brandi had to "call a plastic surgeon". I bet she has them on speed dial! Look at her hideous face... who wouldn't leave that for Leann? Whatever happened to aging gracefully? Gross.
Women like LeAnn make me want to regurgitate! She's not only a "bad parent", but comes off as a "bad person" overall. Her behavior is trifling, and she most definitely has so much to pay for.
It was the father's responsibility to call Brandi and let her know about the accident. I am also a stepmother. I take the children to the doctor when needed, wash their clothes feed them, buy what they need, but when it comes down to communitcating with their mother, my husband take care of that!
I agree with ms. conklin, however, it was eddies respons. to call the ex. And he should of. But, you reap what you sow and Leann should expect spite from some people. As she said, she handled it badly. But at some point you have to move on. Let go and let God.
Only a mother could understand how Brandi feels and since Leann's not a mother she should keep her opinions to herself and stop trying to justify her adultry. Eddie's an ass and should have called his wife, Brandi is better off without that idiot.
Although I don't think it was Leann's place to have to call the boys mother, it certainly should have been her place to wait to post the news on a public forum until AFTER the boy's mom was notified.
LeeAnn Rimes you are the type of women that make me sick. You have no shame, no class, and certainly no morals. You reap what you sow and you will certainly get yours
@Lisa - whatever, crazy cat lady. You're right you probably can't get anyone to sleep with you, not even a fat old married guy. Just stating my opinion, crazy cat lady fat duck!
No doubt the boys' morality are going to suffer with LeAnn in their lives, as she buys their affection and loyalties from their mother. Children can be bought so cheaply, especially when one of their parents is telling them it's ok!
Bob Jensen- I'm not anyone's mistress or a fat duck! Just stating my opinion, so shut your fat homo mouth, b i t c h!!
@Lynnia Clark No, the last time I checked if they share custody of their sons, then Eddie or LeAnn should have called her and told hr instead of letting her find out over twitter. If Brandie was smart, she would take full custody of those kids and get Eddie and Leann away from them. They have been put at risk while in Eddie and Leann's care and they should be more careful about it for the next time
LOL, it's so funny because Leann says, "I treat those boys like they are my own because that's how I love." This statement also works if you replace "those boys" with "your husband."
oh and can hollywood grow up and stop tweeting? it's such an assinine way to give information ie:demi moore in a bikini- do we really need that info?
ok- whatever- the mother should be called if her child got hurt while in the "care" of anyone especially the father- what a dirtbag he is
"To be really honest, it's not her place to tell me how to be. I respect her as their mom, but she has to understand they're in my life. I can talk about my life just like she can [talk] about her's. I can talk about my life just like she can [talk] about her's." Since when is telling someone to stop doing something that affects your kids, the same as telling them how to be? She's only thinking about herself, what she wants, and what she can do. If she wants to do it why shouldn't everyone just understand that? So immature. They're not your kids, why are you giving a running commentary to the public about them, esp. when it causes friction with the person whose kids they actually are? Their teachers spend 8 hours a day with them, does that give them the right to tweet everything they do to thousands of people, if one of the parents has a problem with it? Their father and their mother don't tweet about them, why is she?
"I treat those boys like they are my own because that's how I love." Yes, she thinks everything belongs to her lol
Last time I checked it was your EX-HUSBAND who has 50/50 custody with you. The responsibility lies completely with him to keep you informed of the children you share. Leann Rimes has NO legal authority over your children. This lady sure cannot hide her bitterness very well.
They were with the dad.She just flew in and went to the hospital DUH!!!!!!!
@Katie Where are you getting your misinformation? They SHARE custody of their kids, 50-50 time.
Listen ex!!! its not leann!!! its the father you need to blame!Get off your high horse, quit blaming Leann for everything!!!!!!!!!!!!
