[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I hope your husband's tests went OK!

Just wanted to say I'm the biggest free range, don't helicopter parent out there but I would not have left my daughter home alone with a situation like that right outside the door at that age.  That's just an unpleasant situation to be around and barring an emergency I would not choose to have her have to sit through it and wait a day for her parents to come home.

I also think being home ALL DAY alone is too much for someone who is 13 unless it is an emergency situation, which this was not.[/quote]

This.  You never know when or if things could escalate into a dangerous situation.  If you've ever had a barricade w/hostage situation on your street you would know how scary that is.  The cops come, block off the street and won't let anyone out and about return home.  Yes, that sort of thing is thankfully pretty rare but with all of the arguing that this couple is having who knows how bad things coud get?

I would bring my 13 year old along to the hospital, find her a comfy spot to read a book and take her out to lunch while Dad is having his tests done.  I would want to stay close to the hospital in order to be there for my husband.  I wouldn't feel comfortable dropping him off and leaving him there for hours.[/quote]
