Ok, this is not a MIL bashing thread - for the record I love my MIL to bits and she is a fantastic Nan - I just want opinions as to whether you would have felt this was acceptable.
DS (6 months) and I have had a cold the past week or so - DH was going to see some friends on Sunday and took DS with him to give me a break. FIL was also there. DS was grumpy and ended up having his afternoon bottle about an hour early at 1pm. MIL popped in at about 4 and offered to take him for a walk to settle him. No prob says DH but he will need feeding soon. MIL then disappears for about 2 hours - when they finally got hold of her on her mobile she was at her friend's house. DH went round and gave him his bottle there which he gunned down. As a result he missed his evening solids and of course I ended up doing a night feed which I don't normally have to do.
Normally I would have no problem with her taking him off - I trust her completely with DS and I know she has a habit of letting time get away from her. But AIBU to think that if you take a baby out for anything longer than about half an hour close to a feedtime you should take some means of changing a nappy and feeding them? To my knowledge DS didn't even have anything to drink while they were out and he has a cough ATM.
What do you think? NB I don't need to have it out with her as I know FIL will probably tell her off! I just want to know if I am being a bit PFB about this?

AIBU?
To think that MIL shouldn't really have disappeared with DS?
