My mil is coming to mind my baby and ds7 for a night so we can attend a wedding.
Whilst we appreciate mil helping us so we can attend I'm wondering if I would be unreasonable to buy a small stroller for her to use whilst we're away. I have a good stroller which was expensive (bugaboo) and it's only a year old but she allows my older dc who's 7 sit in it and stand on the wheels of it. I've told ds he is too old for the stroller and he is not to stand on the wheels of it but he told me mil told him he had to the last time they were out. I don't want my stroller damaged as I have a few years left with it and also I don't think it's safe ds standing on the wheels whilst mil pushes. Ds is a good walker will walk beside her as he does with me. She also allowed him sit in my babies car seat a few months ago as he was playing. I told her I didn't want him sitting in a car seat designed for a babies weight and I didn't want the seat not to be safe in the event of a car accident. She wasn't happy about me saying this to her hence why I'm reluctant to go into the whole thing again with the buggy. Should I just buy a cheap stroller for her use? DH thinks it's a waste of money, he understands why I don't want my stroller damaged but when it comes to talking to his mum he forgets. AIBU to be precious about this (I love my stroller but I know if it was damaged we don't have the money to replace) or should I let it go.
