@danielsin753: My husband and I had just settled into seats in the ER with our ill baby when my mother-in-law stormed in, took my husband’s coat, and yelled, "He didn't sign up for this much stress! You're the mother!" — what I did immediately after absolutely surprised her. The night before, our four-month-old spiked a 104-degree fever. Our pediatrician instructed us to go straight to the emergency room when it persisted. It was 2 AM. I was in a hard chair rocking the baby, who was crying loudly, while my husband Ethan paced, visibly anxious. "This is ridiculous," Ethan muttered, rubbing his face. "I have to present at 9 AM. I can’t do this all night." "Her fever is up, Ethan," I whispered, bouncing the baby softly. "We’re just waiting." "Well, I’m exhausted," he said, grabbing his phone and moving away after dialing. I presumed he was notifying his boss. A short time later, the ER doors opened and Sylvia appeared. Ignoring her granddaughter, she went directly to Ethan, snatched up his coat, and passed it to him. "Let’s leave. I’ll take you to my house," she said quickly. "You can get better sleep before your meeting." I couldn’t believe it. "Sylvia, what are you doing?" I asked. "The doctor hasn’t been here yet." "He’s exhausted," she retorted. "He can't stay up here all night." "She’s his child," my voice shook. "I’m tired as well." That’s when Sylvia burst out in front of the entire room. "He didn't sign up for this much stress!" she shouted. "You're the mother! Figure it out!" I didn't protest or break down. I stood, adjusted the baby in my arms, and did something she truly hadn’t considered. See less
