To think I'm not limiting dd's holiday experience by not putting her in the creche?! (Trivial and waffly and I think I answered my own qn!!)

We're going away for a few nights. Monday-wednesday. And have a few activities planned as next week is the only week dp can get as holiday before dd's 1st birthday.

On the monday, we'll arrive late afternoon, so we thought dd would be too tired to do much, so we'll check in, have some chill time, go for dinner and have some family time in the evening.

On tuesday we planned a walk and some swimming. Also having lunch and dinner. But mainly having a bit of a rest and relax because...

Wednesday we're going to the Sea-Life Centre in Birmingham. Which hopefully dd will love!

But I've had a few emails come through from where we're staying about the creche and the activities they do. Mentioned to dh's parents that if we ever went again for a longer stay, we'd perhaps book her in for a slot, but for this visit, we want to keep her with us (plus she's not been away from us before! bad clingy mum)

Apparently we're inhibiting dd's holiday experience by not letting her enjoy all the opportunities there. She's 11 mths ffs, I think she'd rather be having a splash in the pool or popping to the park with us!! AIBU to think they're being mad? or AIBU to have not put my dd into nursery this last year for her to gain her independence from me a bit?? (I'm a SAHM and we pop to friends who have babies and baby groups sometimes; but mostly do our own thing together. I just want to enjoy her as much as I can!!)

Oh and nothing on this green earth would compel me to leave an 11 month old in a crech on a 3 day break... seriously, if I was leaving a baby it would be in a regular nursery or crech, not a one off holiday crech. What are they thinking?? 'Inhibiting DD's holiday experience' ?? What a lot of horseshit Grin

Your in-laws are mad!

I have never put my children into a creche on holiday and i don't feel i'm inhibiting their holiday experience in any way at all. In fact i feel they get more from a holiday by spending time with me and DH.

Just ignore them.

Totally agree with a pp who said holidays are family time. Totally spot on. Your PIL are bonkers.

At 11 months?! They're mad not you.
