Tag team parenting. How do you keep things normal?

Asked by cak (15863points) April 14th, 2011

Right now, I’m sitting in the room with my daughter. She’s sedated, I don’t think sleep is the word for her current state. My husband is occupying our son. Not an easy task, right now. We’re in a city we’re not that used to being in, so we are still looking for things to go see – besides a University. Go Gators!

If you’ve ever been in an odd situation with your family and were trying to keep things as normal as possible, how on earth did you do it…without hitting the minibar in the room!

We will be here for at least 6 more days, if not a little longer. We have books, there is in-room video games…not always the answer for our son. He’s a huge University of Florida fan, so when we’re here, we always look around at the University…but not much more. Have any simple ideas. Keep in mind, my husband and I have worked out “shifts”. Neither of us stay at the hospital for longer than 4 hours at a time. It helps to keep things fresh with our son.
