[quote=Anonymous]My mom takes my 5 year old over to a neighbor's house to play sometimes when DD is staying with her. Usually she stays but she has left her there, with my permission, when she has another commitment. I get where you are coming from, OP. Usually in the past when my mom left DD at the neighbor's house it has been just for a few minutes, but recently she left her there for a couple of hours. When she asked I totally paused and almost said no. But I decided that I was comfortable enough with my mom's judgment, and I do know these neighbors somewhat as well which helps. I think this is one of those things where if you want the free babysitting, you need to make it manageable. If your MIL needs a break sometimes, find a way to make it happen, and don't micromanage it. I would spend a little time with these neighbors, and if they give you reason to question your kids' safety then absolutely say no. Otherwise I would allow it. [/quote]
