Baby space at Parent and In-laws...

momotheflyinglemur · November 2015

What does your family have at their place for when baby stays?

kristen2b · November 2015

Nothing. Baby doesn't need to stay anywhere.

ammnam14 · November 2015

My parents have a toy room for all of the grandkids and they have a crib in there as well. My in laws have a pack n play.

Elizabella85 · November 2015

My parents don't have anything yet because they are in the process of moving, but I'm sure they'll eventually have some toys and a couple of baby things for grandkids when we visit. However my MIL already has toys and a pack n okay because she babysits her sister's grandkids a lot.

Pretty nice for us since all the relatives live several hours away!

My parents and in laws both have a pack n play for our son to sleep in if he stays over at their house and some toys. Not too much stuff, but enough that he can comfortably spend the night there.

My mom is convinced she needs a nursery. My brother (who lives across the country) had a boy 3 months ago and I am due 12/9. She wants to have everything so when either of us comes over we have everything we need. In reality, it will be a pack and play, a bouncy chair, and some little odds and ends.

mhwood · November 2015

We had a bouncy chair that stayed at my aunt's house for a while. If our daughter stayed anywhere, we brought a pack and play with us, no point in leaving it there.

VesperLove · November 2015

Nothing. We don't foresee any need for our child to stay overnight at either of our parents' houses. If we are going up for any length of time then we can bring our pack n play for baby to sleep in. There is absolutely no need at this point for them to have their own space or any gear/toys up there. As baby gets older then that might change but right now it's just unnecessary.

A full nursery at my parents, but they watch DD 2 days a week when I work. They also have more books and toys then me and a stroller and 2 high chairs lol. They are pretty awesome grandparents.

Taylovesbrad · November 2015

They got a crib from their siblings for naps for him. Play mat thingy. Will have some toys. Nothing else.

Taylovesbrad · November 2015

He won't be staying over there anytime soon.

tewinkle27 · November 2015

My mom has my daughters old crib and pack and play. She'll be watching him once I go back to work full time

. Not sure what the inlaws plans are though

My MIL (local) has a crib that been in the family for a while/has been set up in their spare room since her first grandchild was born six years ago. It's worked out well since over the years two more have been added and I'm about to pop out the fourth grandkid for her. She also has a metric shitton of toys. My mom (approx 3 hours north) was gifted a packnplay from a friend of hers that she'll be buying a mattress for and some sheets so that we don't have to lug ours up there when we visit. She'll probably get a bunch of toys since this is her first grandchild and she can't contain herself!

suchaglencoco · November 2015

My mother has had a full nursery since my 10 year old nephew came around. It now has two pack n plays and she's picked up lots of random odds and ends from friends recently as she'll be seeing my twins more.
She will watch them eventually but for now, it'll be nice to have a room to use when we visit there.
My in laws don't really have much so whenever we visit, we'll have to bring a few things.

navyblueladybug · November 2015

We live with my parents at the moment... So all our stuff is there

caitlin1784 · November 2015

My parents have a pack and play, change table, pram, car seat, clothes and box of toys for all the grandkids ranging for different ages. When the first grandy was born they started accumulating things that were suitable. They live on a farm and 1500km from the first lot of grandys and 300km from me. Ill bring a few things down and leave simply because its easier and I was given double of them anyway. Its one less thing to stress about packing or remembering I need when I go home to visit my family and also means i can leave bubs there last minute if needed for an emergency and know they'll have everything my baby needs. I should add i even keep a 2nd set of everything for my two dogs there too so i don't have to cart stuff up and down all the time lol

Bombmom3 · November 2015

MIL has a pack n play and toys, my parents just have toys and a high chair. Both sets of parents live across the country from us (but within thirty minutes of each other) so they swap baby/kid stuff between them when we are in town visiting.

MIL would be THRILLED if we shipped the kids off to her for a trip but they are not old enough yet for us to send them across the country without us (I'm sure my mom would like that as well, she just understands we aren't comfortable doing that yet so hasn't even asked if it might be a possibility).

herewegrow · November 2015

We won't be allowing sleepovers, potentially ever, but definitely not until our girls can communicate very well. We have our own room at my mom's because we live out of town from family and that's where we stay. The girls have/will have beds, bath items, toys, etc. there.

TomekiaB · November 2015

We don't live close to any family, our child is not the first on either side. My DH's niece basically lived with the in-laws until she moved out of state so she has her own room at my in-laws. My Dad and his girlfriend have babysat my niece quite a bit but I haven't seen anything furniture wise for my brothers kids. Due to the distance I don't anticipate leaving my child(ren) alone with their grandparents for more than 2-4 hours at their houses.

Court11152325 · November 2015

My mom will be watching baby when I work, so she will have a pack n play, some toys, diapers, diaper bag, etc. We even bought an extra base for her car for the car seat.

ssn109 · November 2015

My parents have a pack n play and a couple of other things, but my mom got them only so I wouldn't have to lug as much stuff when I make the 5 hour trip to visit them. I appreciate it, since I haven't had the opportunity to get a bigger car yet while saving for a house. My in laws have a bunch of things as well, since this will be the 4th grandkid for them. Two of those are 3 and under, so most of it is still pretty new. The in laws will be baby sitting for us when I go back to work, so they did need to have those things anyway.

taysun · November 2015

My mother decided to use her second spare bedroom as a nursery. It seemed silly to me and like she was potentially preparing for my relationship to end so I'd move in with her, however I'm looking at it positively. I visit maybe one weekend a month so it'll be nice to have a proper place for baby and my mother will eventually be the overnight babysitter should we need one in the future.
It's her money and she's made it clear she knows she gets baby only as much as we're comfortable. I guess it bothers me less because she didn't buy EVERYTHING just a crib and dresser and changing pad.

littleSkittle14 · November 2015

My mom is a single lady, empty nester living in a 4 bd house. And my dd is her first grandchild. She went totally bonkers, and made a complete nursery for her. A crib, a bookshelf, new rug.... The works. It is nice when we're visiting but I know my husband thinks she's insane haha

My in laws have a pack n play in their basement that they move to an empty bedroom upstairs when needed.

BellaM110 · November 2015

My mom will be watching the baby while
I work so she has a crib, car seat and stroller. And I will pack the diaper bag each day with whatever other essentials she will need for him.

stickybun14 · November 2015

Not sure if my MIL has anything. My sister lives around the corner from my parents so her and my 2 year old nephew are over there a lot so there is already a lot at mum and dads place.

I live 2 hours away so mum is setting up one of the spare rooms with a nice queen bed and the cot and change table will go in there for when I come down with bubs and stay the night/s. My nephew has a big boy bed now so his room has been converted more to a toy room for him.

angetralala · November 2015

My parents bought our crib, and got themselves the same one for one of their guest bedrooms. We stay over from time to time, so that way the baby can have somewhere to sleep in the room with us. They also got a pack and play for their first floor, and a high chair. They'll be our primary babysitters and they have the space, so I know they were happy to accumulate some stuff!
