Dd is 2 1/2, and has only ever slept over at her grandparents (on both sides).
Her aunt has asked to have her overnight next week. The aunt has a son the same age. She wants to take them to the cinema and bring her back mid morning the following day.
Dd has never gone with Aunt alone ever, yet, so I am wary of her staying overnight there. I have the following concerns and want to know if IBU for any of them
(1) dd has never spent alone time with aunt or her boyfriend before
(2) I would need to go an put my car seat in their car. Am a total nutjob about carseats and hate hate dd beig in a car without me (probs irrational, and I dont mean me driving, just dont like her being in a car without me)
(3) what happens if she needs the loo in the cinema - id want Aunt to take her to the loo, not the boyfriend but then if aunt takes her son, dd will be left with the boyfriend (nothing against him, bit shes only met him twice
(4) boyfriend is staying at aunts (see above re how much dds met him
(5) I dont allow dd to have fizzy drinks (I know, what I dont know wont hurt me) but aunt will think nothing of letting her son have a taste of her Relentless or a glass of diet coke or a taste of a beer
(6) There is no bed for dd there. I have a small inflatable, and could supply that if needed, but its not ideal
(7) My gut is just saying no
Sorry, now ive written it down I can see Im probably BU but I dont know.....
If it helps I wouldnt let my dsis have dd overnight as they dont really know one another well (my sis lives abroad so I mean on the times she is home).
