[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer a couple questions, we have slept at my ILs house many times but DH and I are always there - the kids are never alone. We would probably go one night before to help them get settled. The older one is pretty comfortable with them, I am just worried about the baby. As of now she just wakes up once per night around 4/5am to eat. My mother in law claims she can handle that but I don’t think it will be super pleasant for her.[/quote] It's one night. She said she'd be fine. Why wouldn't you believe her? [/quote] My MIL would say the same but I wouldn’t believe her. She did a great job raising her own kids, but significantly overestimates how much she remembers or what she has the energy to do. With totally good intentions, she’d bite off way more than she could chew. I feel you though, OP— we are also nearing our 10 yr and my husband wants to go (far) away, and I’m not ready to be 12+ hrs away from my kids. [/quote]
