Just needed some thoughts/perspective on this.
My lovely MiL is holding a masquerade ball to celebrate her 60th. Everyone is going (even my parents have been invited) and it's going to be a fantastic evening.
We have a 7 month old DS. As PiL live 200 miles away, we are staying with them for the weekend. The problem is making sure DS is cared for, during the party. He is simply too young to be expected to stay up for the evening and he needs a quiet room to sleep in. The hotel where the ball is held is very expensive (I looked into getting an overnight room), and miles away from PiL house, so going back and forth is problematic. A childminder is the obvious solution, but everyone PiL would trust with their house/grandson is going to the ball. Obviously, they have not needed childcare for years and as we don't live in the area, we don't know any babysitters, either.
Any ideas? The only thing I can think of is to split the babysitting between myself and DH, so we both get to go, but DS has a safe, familiar adult around.
