[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the house is such that MILs voice can keep the baby awake, the sounds of baby crying + you going down the hall to pee, then DH doing the same must create quite a ruckus in the he whole house in the middle of the night. Add that to the fact that many seniors have insomnia and other sleep related issues to start with, it’s no wonder she’s up “prowling” (and by that yiu mean walking around her house). [/quote]

...then maybe MIL and FIL should not have insisted on baby visiting their house, or maybe should have taken OP and her husband up on their offer to stay in a nearby hotel, yes?[/quote]

Maybe they didn’t think about baby waking (not even sure if it’s in the same room) = everyone getting up, walking all over the house, and doing a bunch of things in the middle of the night? DD was a horrible sleeper, and it never involved two parents and so much drama.

If OP a was so bothered by MIL “prowling” her own home (which is a statement that really says all we need to know about how OP a feels about MIL to begin with), [b]she could have packed up after the first night[/b]. [/quote]

Oh yeah, I'm sure that wouldn't have caused any drama at all. Great suggestion[/quote]
