I can't decide on this and I need an objective point of view. I've had plans to visit some friends for New Years 6 hours away. I was going to leave tomorrow morning and come back on Monday. Well yesterday my dad who has severe asthma was hospitalized. Turns out he has a pulmonary infection, pneumonia and some other complications. They don't know when they are going to let him go home. Both of my parents say I should go on with my plans but I feel terrible. My mom would be all by herself in the house and I'd feel guilty. On the other hand, I really want to see my friends who I have not seen in a long time and not spend new year's doing doing nothing.
What do you think?

my advise is to stay with your family. because they come first ok. you can alway see your friends another time. i know it's new years but your dad need you. so you all can go into a new year and he can get well. i hope my advise help you and also you friends should understand what you are going though. and if they are your true friends they will understand ok. i hope you dad get well and god bless you and have a happy new years

Stay home with your family. You can go see your friends anytime of the year, and if something happened while you were gone, you will never forgive yourself. Your friends will understand. You will not spend New Years Eve "doing nothing", you will be spending New Year's Eve with your Mother. Make it a special night for her while your Dad is in the hospital, take her to dinner, help her releive her stress as it's hard to have a spouse in the hospital, you still worry. Be there for her, and give your Dad the peace of mind that your Mom won't be alone on New Year's Eve.

Let's get personal and very to the point. You only have 1 father, right? He is in the hospital and is doing okay, but with pneumonia, things could change quickly, right?
How many New Years do you think you will have to spend with friends in the years to come? That is not considering that something unfortunate happens to you early in life.
If you have really, really good friends, they would not expect you to meet them under the circumstances. If they are just rainy day friends,
you certainly don't need them.

If I even have been you I"d in basic terms get a refund for the tickets and bypass next weekend or yet yet another day. Your 1st anniversary merely comes around as promptly as a 300 and sixty 5 days. no count in case you probable did now no longer make plans in basic terms being on the comparable time is constrained sufficient so stay residing homestead and journey time alongside with him!

I say stay with your parents. You don't know how serious it could be. And your friends should understand that one of your parents are sick in the hospital. I mean imagine if it were you in the hospital, I doubt they would just continue with their plans and leave you behind. I mean it isn't like he has the flu, he's in the hospital. There will always be another party to see friends, only one father.

well, you state you want to see your friends who you have not seen in a long time, YOU will always remember you WILL NEVER see your dad should anything go wrong.. Would a few hours of your time be too much should your dad BE ALONE, I'm sure he is aware of the New Year, of which may end, but your conscious will never end, it will be with you. Hoping you find some time with him

You'll have other plans and other oppertunities to go and have fun. Your family is there for you forever... Just think, if the role was switched, and you were in the hospital and your dad had plans.. wouldn't your dad stay with you and your mom? Stay with your parents. It'll mean alot to them.

Stay with your mom. If your dad is sick then your parents need you there with them. Ask yourself this, how would you feel if you went with your friends and then your dad didnt make it?

Your family is impotant but your mother is there with him and she is going to be there when you get back from your trip. Now if you said there was nobody by his side and you wanted to go that would be different but you got moms and I think they will be fine.
