[quote=Anonymous][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.

No we understood why he said he was uncomfortable and didn't think it was the care of his son.

I don't think he should shower there. He's just there for the night. And I'd encourage him to take #2 down the hall in the visitor's restroom too. [/quote]

+1 OP I am sorry for your stressful situation but your DH is being absurd. If I were the other mom whose child is also going thru a very difficult thing (clearly if her DD is in the hospital for a long stay as well) the last thing I could imagine caring about was some other DH who is there to focus on his own kid.

What if it was a single dad, or the mother was having a situation that prevented her from being the primary caregiver?

The gender aspect here is a real non-issue and seems like an excuse to everyone reading it.[/quote]

x1000 This is ridiculous OP your DH gets to sleep in his own bed every night giving bs excuses and you are enabling. [/quote]
