How old for sleepovers?

[Jojo]

How old was your LO when you let them sleep over you families house?

With all the drama going on I would like to keep my child out of it since it doesn't concern him and my father said that Matt can sleep over when the new baby comes. :ohno:

Not so sure I like that idea but I'd like to let him have some time with grandparents/aunts when the time is right.

When was the time right for you? How did you know?? My only concern is certain people don't know how to listen to my DEMANDS (:hehe:)

Well, technically Averie hasn't slept over at anyone else's house. When we were gone this weekend my mom came here so that the transition of us being gone would be easier for her. That worked well. As for sleep overs, I think it will be a while but there's a strong possibility Averie may go to my mom's for a night or two when I have the baby, just depends on timing.

Well we have traveled with Talon and he has slept at my mom's house, SIL's house, a couple friends houses, etc.

This past weekend was the first time we left him at my moms house for a night and we left. I was still nervous about it and my mom listens to me sometimes but not others. She thinks she has a right to spoil him and I get that, but not when it makes my life hell for 2 weeks after 1 night with her. You kwim? Anyway, It went completely fine and I was glad that we did it and now I will be less nervous and likely to do it again. Dh and I need to make more time for each other. We went out for dh's birthday in downtown San Diego with friends to see a baseball game and then out to a piano bar afterwards. We stayed at the Westin hotel that night and then went back to my mom's the next afternoon. ;)

I'd say take advantage now that he is sleeping better and not nursing. Enjoy a little time to yourselves before the next baby comes.

Cash has never slept anywhere else. I would probably let him stay at FiL's or MiL's, or with one of my mommy friends here, starting this fall, if I thought he'd do okay without mommy or daddy.

For us...Connor spent the night(just one) with a friend when he was 5 mths old because we went to a hotel for our first anniversary celebration.

He spent the night with my mother when he was about 1 1/2 when I went to my 15 yr high school reunion(2 nights).

Connor and Av spent a week with my mother while I was in the hospital having Devinn.

They've never spent the night with anyone for any other reason. The next time up is this October when we go to Dans 30 yr high school reunion. It will be an overnight thing and we are hoping my sis will come stay at our house instead of us taking them to her and moms house. Connor will be 6 1/2, Av will be 4, and Devinn 2 1/2 at that point.

In all honesty, Im really iffy about it because of the situation with my family and myself. However, this is very important for Dan and we already put money up for it so Ill hold my breathe and deal. Wont hurt our kids to spend time with my family even if they arent too happy with me right now LOL.

Well I definitely don't see it happening before he turns 2. He has issues sleeping anywhere but his crib unless I sleep with him. But thanks for the input. I have to learn to let loose a bit.

Dylan was 2 when she went to stay the night at gramma's.

Isabella has never been anywhere overnight without us.

My SIL said she would have Isabella while I am in labor, and that's fine with me. My niece is 15mo older than Isabella and they LOVE each other. Having Emily around will be the perfect distraction that Mama and Daddy are not there.

I am however going to try and suggest they stay at our house just to make it a bit easier on Isabella. Emily stays over at people's homes (her grandparents) on a monthly basis so I think it would be easier to bring Em over than to make Isabella go to their place. But who knows.

But otherwise no sleepovers for awhile. When she gets a bit older maybe she will stay with her grandparents while DH and I go away, but that won't be for a loooong time with a new one coming. And I'm not sure WHO would be willing to watch 2 small kids for us overnight! :hehe:

[Caitlin]

I'm never letting Aiden spend the night somewhere else without me. :lol:



I'm nervous about what we'll do when this baby comes. Ideally, I'd like my MIL to stay at our house in PA while I deliver in MD, but I don't know if she digs that idea. Hopefully my sisters will pitch in a help too.

Gabriel has stayed at my moms about 5 or 6 times but she watches him 2 days a week and watched him every day when I went back to work when he was 4.5 months. I don't know if I would let him sleep over anywhere else just yet since he really loves sleeping in his crib. If I thought he wouldn't give her trouble, I would definitly let my friend take him overnight for DH and I to get out for once. Her and I have been friends since we were 4 yrs old and we are now 34 and she is Gabriels Godmama and was in the room with me and DH for my 24+ hours of labor until I had to have a C-Sec, we talk every day and have keys to each others house....so I guess we are more like sisters, not to mention Gabe and her son LOVE each other! BUT that hasn't happened yet....:hehe: Also, my mom only lives 10 minutes away so it is pointless to have him stay there other than the special occasion when my brother and his family come visit from out of town, I like to give him time to spend with his cousins that he never sees since me and my brother are so close.

Only you can decide when it will feel right for you and that may not happen until he is....well NEVER....and that is OK Mama! I definitly wouldn't want Gabe going to my moms or friends if there was ANY Tension between anyone so I think you are doing the right thing!

[Farah]

I have no idea. DH suggested we send Charlie to his parents for a weekend this summer, but I told him I wasn't ready for it. They live 3 hrs away and I just don't think I could handle having him that far away from me. So.....not for a while I think.

After reading everyone elses posts I don't even wanna answer that question! lmao

Lily spent the night with my ex's mom when she was three months, I was physically in bad shape and the doc made me spend the night in the hospital. Then she started spending nights with her at about a year old whenever ex and I wanted to go do stuff.

Ru has only been away from me five or six times in her whole life, but I think the first time she was five months and I left her with my best friend when I went to San Diego to help my sister during her Radiation treatments.

Now I wish I could get rid of mine overnight. lol I can't even remember what its like to sleep in.

[AddiesMomma]

After reading everyone elses posts I don't even wanna answer that question! lmao

Awww, go ahead.

Addie's spent the night about 4-5 times with my dad and step-mom already...and that's within the last few months.

:lol:

Do tell please. It might make me loosen up a bit.

DH said Matt can sleep over when he's 10. :hehe:

[Caitlin]

I guess I should add that I haven't tried mainly because I'm afraid Aiden would hate it! He loves his crib so much, and he's been on a great sleeping kick lately. I'd love to be able to just drop him off with MIL, but I think it would be a disaster for everyone. :lol:

I'd be ok if MIL came and stayed at my house though!

[Anjyldream]

Ella is 3 and still hasn't slept over with anyone. Jayden slept over at my mom's EARLY ~ like 2 months old......but I was 19, young and not where I am right now. I'm psychotic now and neither stay anywhere lol.
