[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't the baby go in with your ILs? Is the DC still waking and nursing? My parents always take our youngest in the pack and play in their room. [/quote]

That would be pretty rude to ask someone else to have a baby in their room, in the house they're paying for, while you pay nothing.[/quote]
Grandparents not strangers ya dummy![/quote]

Grandparents and other relatives aren't your night nanny, ya dummy![/quote]

Especially when they're paying for your accommodations. Hey, here's a free room at a beach house. How about you hand us your child at night so you can sleep well in the vacation house we're paying for you?

Are you serious with this request? I'm not a grandparent, but it's completely rude and selfish.[/quote]
Guess that is the type of family you have. As for my folks AND my IL's they would likely be the ones suggesting that the kid(s) sleep with them.
But hey, they are not at all uptight or easily offended and certainly would not even blink at the idea of bunking with their own grand kids .
And if they did not want they have NO problem saying no. They are grownups.[/quote]

Very strange. My parents are awesome grandparents. But it would be really strange for them to take our baby in their room for the night. [/quote]
What in the world is "strange" about it? I understand that different families have different dynamics and some grandparents would say "no". But that is totally different than saying it is "strange". But hey in our families, grandparents and cousins take others' kids for weeks at a time in the summer. My folks and inlaws have had ours sleep with them since they were infants, when they would come for a visit and give us a break for the night -- let us get some sleep. We are all about it takes a village as long as we love and trust the villagers. We are also considerate, rarely have to ask, and don't have a problem accepting "NO".[/quote]
