I’m 100% with you here - having a child with such extensive health requirements/condition would be absolutely hell on earth, it’s hard enough being a mum some days to kids without disabilities, to add that in the mix would not be easy. It is very common for people with epilepsy to sleep after seizure and considering how much seizure activity she has going on it’s no wonder her sleep/day naps are out of whack. Also think Erin is problematic and entitled (eg the hospital side of things) but I would not want to be in her shoesErin is problematic as hell but on Lu’s sleeping and Erin’s teary story about that. I’m getting a lot of mumsplaining here so just want to point out:
- we dont know her hubby wasn’t in with Lu while she was screaming, for those saying Erin just left her to scream. We also don’t know if she’d been in with her and just took a break for her mental health.
- we don’t know the sleep needs of someone with Lu’s condition. Your kids might have other conditions, doesn’t mean they have the same needs as Lu and you’d approach caring for them the same way.
- Little Lu might be in pain. Constantly. Maybe that’s what’s making her scream. Not that she needs less day sleep or a later bed time.
Erin’s behaviour is super annoying and she handles things so poorly but I wouldn’t keep to her being a bad mum as no one has experience with this condition in their child.
