To not be comfortable leaving DS &DD?

[BabyHaribo]

MIL & FIL are having a formal dinner for wedding anniversary in a small hotel. It only has 20 rooms and they are having exclusive use.

I am not comfortable leaving DS.3 and DD 1 in the hotel room whilst we attend the evening meal. Neither of them are good sleeps and often wake up. I also worry about who had access to the room and fire etc. I don't mind sitting in the room whilst they sleep.

MIL & FIL are putting on the pressure saying they don't see the problem and I'm being rude

AIBU? Would you leave them with a monitor if your party were the only ones in the hotel?

by the way hak how was i offensive to you ? i merely said you seemed to have done a u turn in your thinking, how is that offensive ??

It was me that originally mentioned the McCann's and Hak's reply - which she quoted up there - was obviously sarcastic, not agreeing with me.

I think she's wrong though

I wouldn't leave a child alone in a hotel room. You have no idea who has a key to access that room whether you have sole occupancy of the hotel or not. It may be a tiny risk, but it's not one I'd be willing to take and if a parent did it and then their child went missing you could guarantee there would be a load of people on here saying they should never have been left alone in the first place.

I think probably though the bigger risk is that the children could wake up confused about where they are and be scared and I wouldn't want that to happen either.

Or there could be a fire alarm.

etc etc etc

I do agree with Hak that the OP could just get a baby sitter though. That's the simplest solution. Or not take the children at all and ask someone to look after them for the weekend.
