Not sure if this is the right place.
I need advice. My dd is having open-heart in a few weeks. And we are planning on staying in the hospital hotel with our 2 yo DS and 3 yo DD while 1 yo DD is in the hospital. But I am coming across issues with what to do with the kids on surgery day. My mom is planning on coming down with her 5 yo and 11mnth old foster child and staying in the waiting room with us and our 2. I'm just not sure how that is sounding to me.
a. I had thought mom would take our 2 for the day or have my older brother take them if mom wanted to be in waiting room.
b. I'm glad to have any kind of support, I should be thankful.
c.They are our kids and our responsibility.
d. It'd be easier to ask her to stay home with her young ones- since we'll be there with our regaurdless- it might be too traumatic for that many young, young kids.
What have you done or would you do?
