Please don't worry Wannabe, it is clear that you are doing an amazing job in difficult circumstances. I'm glad you have a side room, that you can all be together but have a degree of privacy too.paydbx2026 #19 £422/£6000 . Mortgage start £148k June 23 - now £135k.

Good grief WB, who on earth is going to judge you for the DC's sharing a bed. You're doing the best you can under very difficult circumstances and you're all together so that's the main thing. I have a sister and 2 brothers and we used to 'camp' in each others rooms all the time.
It's good of the hospital to let the DC's stay in the room, but I'm not sure what else you'd be able to do anyway? I thought you might have some sort of room in a house where you and the 2 oldest could go to at night and that was why I couldn't figure out the lack of cooking facilities.
Considering the situation you're in, it actually sounds quite nice and like it's working for you all. xx0 -
What teafor2 said from me too.
At the price of those meals its a pity there isent a MCDonalds around or a Morrisons cafe.
THat is a blooming rip off.

Nothing at all to be judged on there, at least you're all together and there to support the youngest. The food prices are extortionate :eek:

The smalls sharing a bed doesn't matter. I guess that means you don't get a bed? Can they wheel something in for you?

I don't think sharing a bed is a problem at their young age. It's important for you to all be together
