DD's best friend has come to stay with us for a few days as her parents and her Nan up staying very close to a hospital where friends Grandfather is very very poorly (hospital is at least 2 and a half hrs away) and they do not know how long Grandfather has to live.
Odd thing is the Nan has 2 other DDs that DD's friend could have stayed with, both live fairly near and have not gone up to hospital.(so not sure what is going on there)
Anyway, I really do not mind the girl being here, she isn't a troublemaker or anything, just concerned :-
a) what if Grandfather dies, what do I do, friend is very close to him.
b) will my work be willing to give me time off to be with this girl (my DD and friend have been friends for years and years)
c) what do I do with my DDs (I have 3 of them and DH is away all week)
Have never been in this situation before, already have had my DD in tears because she has quite often stayed with friend at her Grandparents house.
Sorry to ramble on, just that I am feeling rather vulnerable over this, probably would feel alot better if DH was around.
Oh and plus it all got landed on me this morning with friend coming to stay with only half an hour notice. Plus its their SATs week this week too! (should I write a note to school do you think?)

Does anyone know if I have any legs to stand on in this situation or would I have to take off unpaid leave?
