[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the OP.

Wow, lots of hate for DH. I think I may have not characterized his concern well. There is a single bathroom/ shower in the room that would be shared with the other mom and her kid (mine is in a diaper due to movement restrictions). He was concerned she wouldn’t be at ease if he were there showering/ sleeping. It’s like sharing a small hotel room right now with the very thin curtain. Unfortunately there aren’t private rooms as the pediatric side isn’t that large. He wasn’t uncomfortable due to the bed or extra care for our son.

DH is doing everything at home. Daycare and elementary school drop offs/pick ups, cooking, sports, and work. So he isn’t just hanging at home alone. He is also spending weekends here with our son.

However, I understand the sentiment that he needs to suck it up. Just want to be cognizant of the other family’s feelings.

If you all trade off nights he doesn’t need to shower at the hospital and surely there is a restroom down the hall. He’s being ridiculous. You both need some sleep in your own bed.[/quote]

yeah, I don't understand this at all. If you are trading off, then neither of you should need to shower at the hospital. When he needs to go to the bathroom/brush his teeth, he closes the door. I'm fairly certain the other kid's parent is focused on her kid, not the parent of the other kid. [/quote]
