This could be a STM+ Q too.
At what age do you think you will let your LO spend the night somewhere? This would be out of the blue (not because you were going somewhere and had to).
I only ask because MIL keeps bugging me to let Audrey and I am just not ready. Plus, they live 10m away, we see them frequently, they can come over whenever and DH and I arent going anywhere overnight.
She has asked/hinted probably 10x now.

I think Q was 6 or so months before he spent the night with the IL's. We left Q with my mom for a few days when he was 6wks but only because FI and I had to go to a Frog Show on Staten Island(we are in MA) so we were gone for the weekend. I cried half

Hmmm, several reasons I lean towards NEVER for both MY parents and DH's parents.
1. Both MIL and my Stepmom smoke.
2. My dad is 80+ and step mom is 75. They are both nearly deaf and blind as bats.
3. MIL and FIL are glued to t
The first and only time we have left Auden was when I had Elias. And MIL stayed at our house as to not upset his routine too much. Maybe when he is older and can say I want to spend the night at CiCi's but until then he we have no reason.&n

Thank you. It is nice to know I am not crazy overprotective.
I applaude you ladies who are/will be doing this. I know I will someday and I will probably enjoy it and wish we did it sooner <img src="https://community.thebump.com/cs/emoticons/emot

I didn't realize I was such a minority here!
We are super close with our parents (emotionally and physically... they both live within 15 minutes of us). In fact, each set of grandparents watch her 1 day per week.
Her first overnight
We let LO stay with her grandparents on New Years Eve, when she was about 2 months. They offered and it was great to, you know, put makeup on and brush myhair lol. Oh and get out of the house.

LO has stayed with my mom overnight once when he was about 10-11 weeks old. I made sure he was old enough that he only woke up once at night to eat. She has kept him for a few hours two times other than that but we went & picked him up before his b
Do it!
DD stays at my parent's house once a week, either during the week or over the weekend. It is great for all.
1. Good for DD: This way when the time comes and we need her to stay overnight somewhere, she will not freak out
