would you leave LO with grandparents overnight?
so we are going to my in laws for thanksgiving. granted, my mother in law is a joy, honestly, i am just very "picky" & like things done a certain way. i know i cant expect everyone to do things my way! so we're going up there..only two hours away...wednesday afternoon, but then have to leave after dinner b/c i work retail and am pulling sixteen hours black friday! woohoo, haha, i work on commission as well as hourly so i'm hoping to bank that day :] anyway, i am working all day friday & saturday. then saturday afternoon we're going back to inlaw's and coming back sunday. i know, a lot of driving. mil offered to watch truett friday and saturday. just leave him there with them the days i have to work. i've left him there before, but dh has stayed with him. i think if dh stays i'd feel more comfortable, but we really cant afford the gas of two vehicles and plus i would feel lonely w/o husband, haha. so what do you ladies think? leave truett or no?

Re: would you leave LO with grandparents overnight?
see i would totally say yes in your situation. i should also mention these are the same grandparents that gave him a lollipop on halloween. i'm nervous they will pull the same shitt while we're gone and he'll have an allergic reaction & be out of town...
I left my LO w/grandparents last weekend. Hubby and I went hiking for some us time..and I'll tell you..it was great. I missed him, but it helped me and hubby so much that we appreicated it. I am lucky, my mother has been very involved since I gave birth and knows him really well...so I had nothing to worry about.
My hard part is in Dec me and hubby have to go overseas as we maybe being relocated and I don't want to take DS..so we are going for 7 days. I will be ok for 4, then it will be bad on mommy.
I would go with your gut. If you aren't comfortable yet, don't do it
I wouldn't leave her overnight yet, but Rosemary is only a month old. I have no idea if I'll be more ready at three months. I hope so
But I would probably trust my parents before dh's. Not that they'd be bad or do the wrong things, I just trust my parents more because they're MY parents.
I left him overnight with my mom and we was just fine. I gave just-the-basics instructions. I think it is important to reassure yourself early that babies will survive even if they don't get the exact same everything that you do for them for one night.
Obviously if you are uncomfortable, don't leave him, but I am about 99.9% sure that he will be just fine if you do!
WTH??? Ok, I would be a little nervous about leaving LO too. I agree with pp:go with your gut instinct.
I personally would not leave DD overnight w/ g-parents not because I don't trust them, but because I am afraid she would get upset and need her mommy. (Ok, I would miss her more than she missed me. There I said it)
No way. That is more than not doing things your way- that is doing things that are just plain wrong!
