[quote=Anonymous]I know this is DCUM where cruelty knows no bounds, but it seems beyond cruel to judge here. I assure you parents don't WANT to leave their kids -at any age - in the hospital. Reality is - they probably have jobs that carry the insurance and an employer/boss who is telling them -we've been more than generous being flexible with you but if you aren't here 40 hrs a week, we'll have no problem terminating you and there goes your insurance and pay check; and they know that without insurance their kid couldn't get the necessary care and without a paycheck, they'd fall behind on the mortgage/rent and then they don't know what they'd do. Or they have a limited amount of extended leave time and they are planning for what will happen when their child comes home and needs someone home with them - so it makes more sense to go to work now when there are nurses to make sure their kid is safe, so they can be home later to take care of the child at home, drive him/her to appointments etc.

Do you honestly believe people are thinking - yay kid in the hospital, that means I can hit up yoga during the day, lunch with the ladies, a movie and nap in the afternoon, and date night with DH later and we'll squeeze an hr long visit somewhere in there??[/quote]
