DH and I are having a 3 night break in a month or so. We are leaving DD (5), DS1 (3) and DS2 (16mo) in the care of my PIL who live a few miles away. They will go to nursery/school in the day, so will just be "at home" for a few hours in the morning and evening.
They have suggested they come and stay at ours as the DCs will be more settled. DD and DS1 should be fine either way as they understand what's going on, but it's DS2 i'm worried about.
We think maybe he won't miss us as much if he is at theirs?
One benefit of ours is that all their toys and things are here, and at the GPs, there is the added danger of no stairgates (although we can lend them our travel gate).
What would you do in our situation?

Going away without DCs - do you think it more or less settling if they are looked after at home?
