want to hear a funny?

Hahaha! Dh's office is having their xmas party on the 15th of December. Of course I asked my mom to babysit and she said she would.

The next time we talked about it she's like... Okay, great, so you'll pick her up on Sunday morning? What!?! Um, no! So I laughed and said... You thought she was spending the night? You do know she gets up atleast once if not more and she's up for the day by 7 at the latest. Umm, she's not spending the night anywhere until I'm comfortable being away from her. My mom's response...well, she'll have to spend the night sometime. My reply...yeah, when she's 5!

My parents sleep until after noon. She's going to be happy about getting up a lot? Yeah, right! Plus, I'm not comfortable being away from her for more than a couple of hours unless she's with Dh.

Hahahaha! I was super amused by this!

    bad mom alert here....  I would have dropped off DS and never thought twice about it!  I love & completely trust my mom.  I can't wait for the day my mom offers!!

    I feel you OP!  DS1 is almost 3, and the only time he has not spent the night with us is when I was in the hospital having DS2!  After the first night, DH even went home every night.  I would not trust my mom to wake up when he cries in the middle of the night, so, yeah, DS1 is only now at the stage where I would let him spend the night at grandma's!

    I'm with you OP.  I'm just not ready yet to be away from DS for a night.  My mom watches him while I work, so of course I trust her, but overnight's a big deal.

    Sounds like a generous offer from your mom.  Sure baby will wake early, but once you pick her up, your mom can go back to bed if she wants.  It isn't unreasonable for a grandparent to have an overnight at 6+ months old.

    If your mom is a competent caregiver (she got you to adulthood -so unless there are illness/frailness concerns she can probably handle it) I would give the overnight a try.

    It is amazing what a night as husband and wife (as opposed to mom and dad) can do for your relationship too.

    Totally! We just left DD with my parents for the weekend when we went out of town for something.  It was awesome! I missed her (although it wasn't as much as I anticipated), but it was amazing to have that careless feeling again. We slept in and did whatever we wanted.

    I will say though- DD is an amazing sleeper and gave my mom no problems so it was nice to know that everything was going smoothly at home. Plus my mom watches her all day every Thursday, so she knows her routines and schedule.

    Its a different story if you don't think your mom would be able to handle it.
