Son (2.5yrs) Invited To Paris with Mother!!??

My mother is staying in a Duplex suite in the Shangri La, Paris. My son is 2.5 and loves his Grandmother, I trust her fully, but is this trip too much for a toddler? Will the staff at the hotel be patient enough? Thoughts

Would a 2.5 yr old appreciate Paris?

SirChenjin · 08/01/2016 22:40

What is the purpose of the trip? How mobile is your mum and how capable is she of looking after a 2.5 year old?

SKLily · 08/01/2016 22:43

Sir My mum is a fit 46 year old and I'm sure she can handle it. The trip is for only 4-5 days but it would be nice for him to see Paris and play around!

Will that give you a chance to go to the GP about your morning tiredness?

Why take a baby from his mother?

Nottodaythanks1 · 08/01/2016 22:47

You're not very busy today are you?

SirChenjin · 08/01/2016 22:50

Hang on - how many children do you have exactly? On another thread you have a school aged child you want nanny to do the school run for because you can't get organised enough, a 4 month old, and now you appear to have a 2.5 year old as well - and you're only 23?

My BS radar is picking you up loud and clear OP. Is there nothing good on the telly?

SavoyCabbage · 08/01/2016 22:55

You definitely should. I can't believe he has t been already to be honest. Can she not take the others as well as then you can get some kip.

Monty27 · 08/01/2016 22:57

Paris, pourquoi? He's hardly going to remember it, but then if you need a break, and he comes back exhausted it may not be worth it.

Your DM is younger than me.

She'll be fine.

Have you ever really met a 2.5yo?

You need Honeymom's wise counsel again.

fastdaytears · 08/01/2016 23:09

Well between you and your mother you must know a good amount about hotels, so I'm sure she'll have chosen somewhere that's suitable.

dogvcatcat · 08/01/2016 23:10

Oh hi OP Smile

RudeElf · 08/01/2016 23:13

Will the staff at the hotel be patient enough?

Confused why? What do you expect your son to be doing to the staff?

RudeElf · 08/01/2016 23:14

Oh hang on, do you mean the hotel staff or is your mum taking along an army of your own house staff? Nanny, cook, chief arse wiper?

user7755 · 08/01/2016 23:16

Thought we'd established that she had a 2 1/2 year old and 4 month old. School turned out to be nursery.

dogvcatcat · 08/01/2016 23:17

Will your nanny be going too? Will he be flying by private jet?

fidel1ne · 08/01/2016 23:24

Which parts of Paris do you particularly want your 2 year old to see?

SKLily · 08/01/2016 23:25

Sir my previous thread stated I had a 2.5 year old boy and 4 month daughter. Not sure how that's changed in this thread??

Can your mum take your 4 month old too? Give you chance to do some serious nanny recruitment and get some well earned rest!
