To not want to separate kids? Planned c-section

3 replies

Having my c-section on Friday, the plan was for MIL to stay at ours with the kids but she's not really saying much as she's hesitating to leave her DH and to me seems like she's not to bothered. OH seems to keep forcing it though and keeps asking her if she wants to just have DD instead.

My mum isn't bothered and will just stay at ours with the kids until we are home. I think he is trying to involve his mum so she doesn't feel left out kind of thing but we're not really getting much from her so I have told him to just leave it be.

I'd like the kids to stay together so I can FaceTime them and they can be here when I get home.

I know it's not a huge deal but it doesn't make sense to separate them really does it?

No don’t separate the kids and if you can keep them
In their own house it will be better for them.

I'd ask her once if she's happy having them or if she prefer you asked your Mom and then leave it. She doesn't need to be involved in childcare, there will be a Nikki on other times she can babysit.

I'd keep them together in their own home if possible, it's better for them at the end of the say mil is a grown adult, she doesn't need to be involved if it's not in the best interest of the kids
