Mil woes and Dh on her side as usual

I've been to counselling with Dh regarding his inability to stand by me in family matters (his family come before anything else)
The sessions ended not long ago and I was hoping we'd be ok now.
Last night Dh tells me that mil wants dd (3) to stay at her house overnight without us.
I don't think it's a great idea because dd has never stayed anywhere without us and is a terrible sleeper (wetting herself, sleep walking, coming in to our bed) I said it would be too much for her as she's so young.
Dh couldn't understand this and said it would be good for her.
I stood my ground and said he needs to see my POV and he must explain to mil the reasons I don't think it's a good idea instead of just saying a blunt 'no, doubtful doesn't want her to go' as it makes me look a cow.
He has agreed to explain this to her but I still feel really pissed off about this.
Her other gc stayed alone with her since birth so there are a lot of comparisons to that, but as I said, everyone's different and what works for others doesn't work for us
I just have it in my head that he thinks i'm being awkward and will never bloody agree on anything and will always take his family's side.

I am a huge sider of mils on these threads as they do get a hard time.

My mil was absolutely super.

She was supportive of me as a parent do if I wasn't happy then she wouldn't ask.

That's the mil I am going to be.

She always said she had done her parenting her way so now it was my turn.

I luffed her so much.
