How to tell my MIL that I dont want my DD leaving me overnight yet.

[HotI]

I wouldn't be ok with my child being that far away, so you are not alone.

my 3.5 year old has only stayed at my mum's by herself once, and once at another friend's just ten minutes away (and I picked ds up at midnight, still knew she was asleep and ok).

when preparing for the sleepover at mum's, dd and I stayed there one night to see how she would go.

my mil has also left many hints, but I'm not comfortable with the idea yet, so just keep deflecting the suggestion.

You're not being over protective at all, my 6yr old has never been on a sleep over and I sure wouldn't send her on a 2hr flight. Your MIL already knows your feelings so you really may have to be straight up with her, politely but sternly. Really hope it all works out.

Regards,
Dianne
