When my oldest son was 2 he had an ng tube, my youngest son was about 6 months old at the time. the ng was a huge pain. I can't even count how many times eoin pulled it out when he was sleeping because i wasn't watching him like a hawk, and i caught him pulling it out often and learned how to push it back before it was too far gone and we had to go back to clinic which was also awful because i would have to entertain two kids in a clinic for hours while i waited and we were already there at least once a week anyway. and we had tube taped down in every spot that was not up his nose and it still came out. personally I would not take on a kid with a ng, it was just so much work watching to make sure it didn't come out, and as his parent I would not have wanted anyone else to watch him either. it was hard enough to leave him with Grandma because she would have freaked out if it come out! there's almost always puking involved when he pulled it out. I had my hands full with only 1 extra kid I can imagine doing it with 6 plus my son with the tube
