MIL is deaf without her hearing aids so I have always been concerned about her having DD1 overnight. However when I was having DD2 MIL stayed to look after DD1. DD1 would get up and wake her Nanna if she needed anything and they were fine - and this was 5 nights in a row! DD1 was just 3 at the time too. You might be surprised how your DD copes with your mum especially as she sees her a couple of times a week - they probably have their relationship pretty sorted by now.
Well, they have just left together.
Thanks for all your words, guys. I feel a bit better about it.
And you're right, Nai, they'll figure it out if they haven't by now.
Will keep you posted x
*Hugs* good luck hun!!
As others have said, as long as there is no danger, your two possible outcomes are:
a) DD and Grandma have a blast, which means you're then open for the occasional 'night off' (which is a godsend in my book! I couldn't survive without DD having the occasional sleepover at nanna and poppy's!)
or b) DD and Grandma don't have a great time and it puts them both off trying it again for at least a while, so you have DD at home with you where you know she's safe and happy
Best of luck hun, let us know how they go. Just try and enjoy the free time, I know if you're anything like me you will probably just sit there pining while DD's gone, wondering how she is... they're only a phone call away, check in as often as you like!!
Hope it all goes well for everyone
Thanks gals.
I do still have ds, but totally out of character he went down without a peep at 7:00, so it's been a very quiet household with no settling and re-settling and re-re-settling, as is usually the case.
I sms'd mum at 9:30 to see how it was going and she said B had only just gone to sleep, and in mum's bed, not her own (don't know where she will sleep now, but not my problem and at least she did go down).
Mum last messaged me "don't worry, relax, I looked after you ok didn't I?" - hmmm, have chosen to leave that alone and just say "ok, thanks, good night" lol.
