so DS was booked in for a dressing change at outpatients. it clashes with something really important at school for him, after several months of missing stuff cos of his aforementioned affliction.
I spoke to hospital who were absolutely happy for me to reschedule under the circs. one less patient just meant they'd be less behind by sometime rather than a Dr sitting there with nothing to do for 20 minutes.
school have absolutely kicked off, questioning my mental health for prioritising him taking part in this activity over his hospital appt (which was rescheduled for after the weekend), everyone she told was aghast at my choices, basically all but saying I'm an irresponsible parent who is making bad choices.
we did go today for various and hospital were great, horrified at schools response, they'd have happily spoke to school for me etc. loved ones are obviously in agreement with me cos they love me. but am I a shit parent?
she didn't ask Dad's opinion but incidentally he was fine with my choices. but she was SO wound up over it I wonder if I'm skewed in my choices?
for clarity they'd already withdrew a trip against my agreement due to their perception of his health matters and he's been in and out of hospital over the last few weeks.
