[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will they consent to watch her at your house? It's easier to keep to her routines, and they can keep her in daycare (so food/nap/etc will be preserved and it will be easier for them).

From what you've said, there's no way I'd let them do full time care at their house.[/quote]

I totally agree with this. And I'd probably make the first trip while you go do an overnight stay somewhere not too far away. I bet they would find the experience much more exhausting than they expect and be grateful to have you back. But you should really try to go and enjoy your couple time for a night. My mom feeds my kids McDonalds almost every day when she watches them and lets them watch a ton of TV. But they are safe and loved and have a great time making wonderful memories, and I don't worry about their safety. The safety part would be the deal breaker for me. But I wouldn't spend too much time dictating what they feed her or do with their time. Although in your own house, you can say, "We bought X, Y and Z food that she likes, so she should have plenty to feed her."[/quote]

I would try for this too. My mom has always found it easier to watch our kids at our house. Now that they're older it's less of an issue, but when they were young it was so much easier to have a childproofed space full of their own toys. And my mom is in her 50s![/quote]
