[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your parent were having a planned/scheduled minor surgery (comparable to a child having tonsils out; nothing like open-heart surgery) would you take the day off and rearrange your child care?

My mom is having a minor surgery that they think will take about 2 hours total. My dad doesn't want me to come, says he will nap and catch up on Netflix. I'd either have to bring my child (6) or arrange other childcare, because her childcare hours would overlap. My mom and dad say there is no reason for me to go, but I don't know what the right thing to do is. I was thinking of ordering in dinner to be delivered to my dad once he returns home.

Is it normal to stay home? It's been years since either have had surgery, and I was in college at the time. I'm just worried they will think I'm a horrible daughter! Thanks![/quote]

My FIL had foot surgery and demanded his entire family take off work for it. It sounds like you have reasonable parents so it's silly to take off work.[/quote]
