Is it ok???????????????????

Question

to leave my 3 kids in the waiting room at my doctors office while I see the doctor? They are 9 , 6 and 16 months

Answer 1

NO they are way to young to sit out there waiting for you like that, there is no way a 9 year old should be left responsible for a 6 year old and a toddler that is just wrong...you need to take them back with you

Answer 2

No, im sorry but the 9 year old isn't old enough to watch themselves much less a 6 year old and baby

Answer 3

I would say no...i know how you feel about it being uncomfortable...The 16 month old is not going to know what's going on and have the 6 year old face the wall while it's happening. The 9 year old is probably old enough to wait right outside of the exam room. I wouldn't leave them by themselves though.  

Answer 4

uh no

Answer 5

You never leave kids that young in the waiting room alone . Try taking a friend or have some one there with you .  

Answer 6

No, some one may call CPS on you, lol. Perhaps someone could come with you and stay with them in the waiting room. If not, they need to go in with you to be supervised. Good luck!

Answer 7

i dont think its safe to leave them there. maybe you could have your mom/sister(inlaw) tag along... or have her watch over them.

Answer 8

no, i dont think so. yes a receptionist is there but she can become very busy at times and cannot always keep an eye on your kids. some doctors offices offer a nurse to keep them occupied while you are in the room, you can ask and see if they have that option. i know how frustrating it is bringing kids with you to a doctors appointment, but its the 16 months thats stopping me from saying yes to your question.  

Answer 9

I would agree with the others and say NO! why are u taking them to ur exam? Can you find someone to watch them for a while??  

Answer 10

Absolutley not---unless there is some sort of person watching them. I mean a one and a half year old running around in a doctor's office for god knows how long!? I wouldn't even let my 8 year old do that.  

Answer 11

I would be uncomfortable leaving them without someone you know and trust watching them.  If no-one can watch them, have them come in with you and make them face the wall.  Better safe than sorry.

Answer 12

Why not see if you could leave them with someone while you go to the doctor's? That's what I would do, either that or se if someone  could go with you that  could sit out there with them?
