I do think 20 year olds are still learning to navigate the health care system. Heck, many adults find it difficult! It’s a vulnerable time, and it’s not infantilizing your kid to keep them company at the hospital, at any age.

Hope your DS is on the mend, OP.

Of course it is!

This is triggering you. That’s clear, or your reaction wouldn’t be so extreme. Are you a parent? Did you have a crappy parent? What’s going on with you?

Ok you need to chill. It’s obvious that there is one person on this thread who has a real issue with this and probably has a terrible relationship with their kids. Stop posting and go do something, it’s Saturday. What do you care what another mom does with her time and family?

You're the one hassling her to go even though her son doesn't want her there.

I’m not sure what being a SAHM has to do with it, but I’m a WOHM 50-60 hours a week and I would go to my DC without hesitation. I would do the same for DH.

My mom did it for me in my 30s. It was a comfort. I’ve done it for her too.

You are a troll. And probably 20 with a bad relationship with your mother.

And you know I am how? I would personally go see him, unless I had a bad relationship with my son and he didn’t want me there.

I posted earlier that I took my dd to the er at college a couple years ago. She was very thankful I was there and I got her all settled back in her dorm with her prescriptions and some groceries. If you can go, why not? its the weekend, unless I have plans I cannot possibly cancel, I’m going to be there for anyone in my family who needs me. Again if my son told me not to come and felt fine and was good to go back to dorm and rest with no worries, I would not go.

I bet you're a woman. Her son clearly doesn't want her there. And your son wouldn't want you there, either.

Can we stop feeding the troll?

OP, you seem to disagree with any advise anyone is giving on this thread. What's the point of posting?

Your son not wanting or needing you is not a sign of a bad relationship. It would be a sign that you raised an independent and rational son.

What could possibly be more important than getting to your unwell child who is in the er. They also should have swabbed him to confirm the antibiotics he’s on at the we will be effective

Sometimes college students really run themselves down with poor nutrition, partying, and dehydration. Then you add a virus or infection and they need more medical support than they otherwise might. There’s no one there to take care of them. It’s easy to get dehydrated.
