@pmary2754 awe I think she would enjoy it 😍😄

@jordanrwilliams25 yes great idea she actually wants to be their for the whole thing she wants to stay the night and be their just not sure if she cab

@pmary2754 awe thank you 😍 talk to your OB and just see what they say explain the situation with her and how he feels .. she's old enough to watch movies and relax but definitely try what you can maybe figure out first... And if so it may feel like a mini vacation for her just explain to her what it will be like in there so she knows it's not so much of play time but she can take things to do and movies to watch and get her some goodies to enjoy 😍

@aileen_west how did you find out if your son could stay and how old was he

@aileen_west yes exactly depending on if theirs school I love it that he wants to stay I really am

@jordanrwilliams25 first mom or not even a mom I value your opinion so thank you and their may be someone else who could watch her and I'm hoping the hospital will just let her stay as well but idk how to find out information like that

@pmary2754 is there another family member or friend that could watch your daughter? I get that you want them to have that bonding time but his first sons first night and moments of life he won't be able to get that day back .. your daughter will get used to it yawll are years in with her ... Idk tough situation for me to say I'm on my first so it's just my opinion but although it's very understandable it also seems hurtful and I would try all options to be considered because to a man who wants that and has been counting on it just as much as you that seems a little harsh and selfish ... Especially if he is a working man and already has to give up more time than you would now that you don't work (I don't know your situation) again just my opinion I mean no harm .. I personally couldn't take that moment away from my husband if I had an older child she would be with family or a friend and at the least if let her stay at the hospital too for a night if I had no other options

It will be his first night with his son, too. You never get that back. He deserves to experience it as well. Telling him he doesn’t need to be there was probably pretty hurtful to him.

@singleparent that's a wonderful idea some bonding time thank you

@jordanrwilliams25 oh yes I definitely do I love it actually and it is a boy so I'm sure he's thrilled I just want him and our daughter to have that time alone for one last night

I agree with singleparent and I understand your feelings hope everything went good

Sounds understandable but also appreciate the fact that that's what HE WANTS to do ...I think that's a special moment to him as well that shouldn't be taken away if it's his desire

I mean I'm super grateful that he wants to be their but it's one night and idk any ideas on maybe a better way I can tell him to talk to him about it

I don't think its rude, you have another child to consider who's going to suddenly not be the only kid around anymore. Big adjustments. Even for a 7 year old. Having dad home would ease the transition, unless the hospital has restrictions, its not like he cant bring your daughter up to the hospital later on.
