So my son has ended up in hospital he's 15 he's broken a bone and needed surgery this morning.
My issue is I'm a single parent I have two other children who are with my parents now.
He has to stay in tonight and home tomorrow he's fine in his self just bored ha.
My dilemma my parents are not kin on having my other 2 children over night.
It was I will IF I really have to comment.... I feel like I'm being torn in 2 places.
If I stay here I'm gunna worry about my other 2 or if I go get them ill worry about my son.
What is a mum spose to do.....

Can he get WhatsApp & chat with you loads?

Up until recently, adults in local hospitals couldn't have any visitors unless they were palliative, so I'm used to that now. I know he's only 15, but he's probably better using tech to keep in touch than the average 87yo who got stuck bored in hospital or rehab centre for many many weeks (I know one).

I wouldn't feel guilty if you can't go visit as long as you can still talk to him.

I'm with him now and have been all day it's just the night time I'm worried about has my parents have well and truly had enough already of babysitting my other 2.
Sad has it is I don't have anyone else I can ask to have the young ones. He has his phone talks to me more on that anyway 😄

He'll be fine, go home to your lo's and collect him tomorrow

Can he reach out to any of his mates for chats?
They might be the other people awake at 2am tomorrow when he's awake & bored, too.

It’s only relatively recently that parents have been allowed to stay with their children in hospital. It is a good thing for small children but at fifteen he really does not need you to stay with him overnight. I would let him get a good night’s sleep by himself and take your younger children home.
When I was ten, in the seventies, I had a major operation that meant l was in an adults’ ward as it was too complex for the children’s hospital. I was in hospital for two weeks and my parents were only allowed to visit at very strict visiting hours. On the day of the operation l was on my own as my parents were not allowed to see me until visiting hours the next day.
