Annoyed.

I'm scheduled for a repeat C-section Monday (4/30) at 7:30 am so I need to be there at 5:30 am. I also have a 4 and 2 year old so we asked my MIL if it would be okay if my SIL could spend the night at our house (she's 17) so that the kids would be able to sleep in their own bed because they have a difficult time going to bed as it is and so we didn't have to wake them up at 4 am to bring them over.

My MIL says she'll ask her husband who is my SIL stepdad. Not really sure why she needed his permission but okay. They never give us an answer and so my husband calls yesterday to ask and she says that my FIL said no.

why? because my SIL has her gallbladder removed 2 weeks ago and one of the incisions is slightly open. (which is normal) now, I understand his concern but I'd also like to point out that she really wouldn't be doing anything but sleeping here through the night and then giving them breakfast in the morning (which I was already to going to have prepared) and then sitting on the couch because they'll entertain themselves and it's also highly possible that she'd only be dealing with my 4 year who is far more easier because my 2 year old likes to sleep in quite late and as soon as I'm in recovery my husband's coming back to get her to bring them to the hospital. anyway, I still understand the concern however, she's going to prom tonight. Which I mean, I just don't understand how her going to Prom won't cause any harm to her incision but sleeping at my house and then sitting on my couch will.

My son will be up around 8-8:30. If I have his clothes laid out for him. he'll dress himself and then eat his breakfast. Most days, depending on when she decides to go to bed, my daughter wakes up anywhere from 9-11. So really she'd only be watching, watching them for 2-3 hours.
