DH and I have a weekend away with a large group at the end of the month and DD (6mo) will come with us as I'm ebf and she's a bottle refuser. While I know people it's primarily DHs friends.

We're staying in a small hotel in a small town. DH thinks it's ok to leave her asleep in our room with the monitor on and have dinner. I don't feel comfortable but worry I'm being overly cautious.
He can't see how it's different from having dinner downstairs at home. Maybe I'm being PFB or maybe he's reckless. I just don't know anymore. AIBU to say I'll go to bed when she does?

I think the point for me is it's highly unlikely that anyone would take her or that there would be a fire but it's unnecessary so I would rather not take the risk.

I always think it's worth thinking "how much of a feckless parent would I sound having to explain my actions and decision making process to the police and/or social services." if you think you'd struggle to defend your actions to either, it's probably best not to do it... Smile

Go with sitter, it's a fair compromise. If he's not prepared to pay out for a sitter, you don't go.
