CP: Kids staying the night away from home
At what age did/will your LOs first stay the night away from you? Whether it was a night at their grandparents or a slumber party situation, how old were they the first time they stayed away from home?[Poll]
Re: CP: Kids staying the night away from home
I said 6 mo - 1 yr but really he was ~ 5.5 months when my mom died and I had to leave for 2 weeks to handle stuff in SC without him and he stayed home with dad. That's when I quit nursing cold turkey. Not long after that, I started travelling for work. He was probably 1-2 when we left him with someone else overnight.
Now I'll let him stay with just about anyone.
He comes with his own bedwetting alarm and everything.
JJ was about six months old when I had my first overnight trip and H had to be gone for work. It was a long time until JJ had to stay with a relative overnight again because both H and I were tied up with something else, but I was comfortable with him being with my mom at that point.
EDIT: I will note that JJ has only stayed overnight with my parents, and it's happened fairly often [probably once or twice every other month]. With me being by myself all the time, my mom will take him so I can get things done or work over the weekend, or JJ will spend time with my parents when my dad's home on R&R and I can't get time off. I imagine JJ will spend the first weekend after DS#2 is born with my mom, but the overnights will probably decrease after new baby.
