My elderly cat took poorly at midnight and I needed to take her to the emergency vet. Which is a 35 min drive away. I thought it was the end if you catch my drift.
I took my kids (7&12) with me because the eldest was awake (she'd been up worrying about the cat) and wanted to come and there was no way I could leave them on their own obviously
It's now 5am.. kids have slept in the car the whole time and we are only just heading home as the vets was way busy.
AIBU taking them?
Just to be clear I have zero family, their father passed away so is not around. My only friends are either away (best friend is away) or at work (nights) so it is literally just me.
I'd normally leave them with a neighbour but they're on holiday for 2 weeks.
Kinda worried I did the wrong thing now and that the vet will report me.
I stayed with them in the car the whole time. They slept the whole time.
Cat is ok - though she has to be admitted as they've only just seen her and she is poorly.
