[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - they asked to take the kids for a few days (which we LOVE obviously) and they're about an hour away.

If they'd told me in advance is probably have been okay with it?  I might have asked how long they knew the sitter and who it was - like is it a lifelong friend or some lady they heard about from a neighbor?

I'm sort of torn. I'm pretty careful about who I leave my kids with, but I get that they're a ton of work.   As an aside, they have a history of doing things I'm not sure I'm comfortable with. Like bringing a 2 year old home with sparkler burns or putting my tiny 7 year old in the front seat of a pickup without a booster. [/quote]

Wait, you in-laws took the kids for a few days (I assume to spend time with them), and they took a night off to go out to dinner?  They can go out to dinner any time they want when not having 100% responsibility for their grand-kids.  Which, according to you OP, they asked for.  Why on earth would they choose to go out to dinner.  Poor choice on their part IMO.  Plus, I would not be OK if my kids were left with a stranger (yes, grandparents sitter would be a stranger to me).  This is not ok.  My kids would not be allowed to go to grandparents home alone again until they were able to legally stay home by themselves.[/quote]
