[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought this was going to be a post about someone wondering if their child was old enough to be left alone in the hospital. That might be worth discussion. But no, it's someone who wants to gloat that she does not even pee for days on end when her child is in the hospital. I need to quit DCUM.[/quote]

I have been on both sides of the fence: hospitalized for extended periods as a young child after a traumatic and near-fatal car accident, and with our own children for illnesses (extended NICU and PICU stays for 2 kids).  I was offended by OP's tone and then later posts as well as others who chimed in to a lesser extent.  In my case, I had the best of all circumstances for care and coverage but I do not like how OP is trying to come across as superior in her dedication to her child.  Any time a child is in the hospital is tough on a family and families make the best choices they can under trying circumstances.  It is inappropriate and downright mean to gloat, OP.[/quote]
