To agree to my mum looking after my dc's at hers tomorrow night?

Tomorrow is 10yrs since DH and I officially started living together, I asked my mum if my brother could babysit (as he offered when he gave us vouchers for a meal out for xmas) turned out he was busy but my dm said she would look after dc at her house, no problem, I was chuffed and really looking forward to it.

Then yesterday I was on the phone and she said she would look after them but come to our house, I have to be 100% honest and say I was disappointed, I have been losing weight so I can wear my wedding underwear as dh has never seen it on me so I was hoping to go for a meal and come back here and well I'm sure I don't need to explain..........
I saw her today and she agreed to have them at hers as it meant so much to me but now I feel bad.......

Should I let them stay there even though dm and dc's would rather dc's stayed here and I'm being selfish or should I enjoy the 1 night of being selfish as we are about to spend 3 full on weeks with them while we take on a holiday of a lifetime to Florida in just over a weeks time and this is our last chance for a night alone?

Be selfish. Get drunk then get some. Grin have fun!

No your not go for it i say, why feel guilty for wanting 1 night alone. 1 night will do them no harm and they may even enjoy there little adventure to their nans!

It's OK to want to do something that doesn't involve being a parent, and it sounds like your mum understands how important it is to you once you explained.

If she wasn't happy she'd probably say wouldn't she?

Don't spend your evening feeling guilty! Enjoy your time off.

WillCrossThatBridge · 03/02/2012 21:46

She's agreed to have them at her house so she's ok with that. I can understand the guilt but I don't think you need to feel guilty.

Hope your DH enjoys your wedding underwear!

Go for it-tell your mum why and I bet she will be very supportive.I'd rather babysit at dd's house every time but if she said what you have said I'd be round there to collect the kids before you could say lace thong :)

If it would be a lot easier for your mum to babysit at your house, could you go to a hotel overnight?

ChippingInLovesEasterEggs · 03/02/2012 21:54

Unless you can easily afford a nice hotel - then leave it as it is, it wont kill any of them to spend the night at your Mums.

Have FUN Wink

I've got to ask Grin why hasn't he seen you in your wedding undies?

When you say he's not seen it on you I'm presuming he's not seen it on anyone else?

MissVerinder · 03/02/2012 21:57

Be selfish. Have fun. And a lie in...

Lovemygirls · 03/02/2012 22:02

Thanks everyone. It's so hard to enjoy time on our own without guilt!

No he hasn't seen it on anyone else lol, he didn't see it on my because I'd been in it for over 12hrs and was hot and sweaty and I stripped off by the front door and went straight in the bath Blush

Yes the lie in is especially important because I'm half expecting that after a big meal I will fall asleep and he will have to wait until the morning to see it oops!

Hand that guilt over to me and I'll dispose of it under our setee - nobody'll ever find it (or want to amongst the dust) again.

C'mon
