[quote=Anonymous]Some people do this. My dad's family did - I think largely because my grandmother would have stayed with my grandfather 24/7 if their children didn't step in, so they did it to relieve her. DH's stepmother would stay with my FIL in the hospital, but she is a control freak, and the nearest hospital is 20 miles from their house. My DH was in and out of the hospital and rehab earlier this year, and I didn't even think about staying 24/7. He was in good hands, we have 2 non-driving teenagers at home, I work FT, and I needed to save my FMLA for when DH came home from rehab. Also, the hospital and rehab are both a couple of miles from my house, so I visited 3 times a day for 2 hours or more. I think that was plenty; DH's stepmother disagrees. [/quote]
