To not want to leave DD aged 4 alone in a hotel room.

[Chamonix1]

Going away this weekend, DH's parents are coming and have very generously paid for me and DH to go out for a meal, they said they'd watch DD in the hotel we are all staying in so we could have some time alone. Lovely.
However they've recently announced that they are going to settle DD in our room, call their room from our room and go back to their room and listen out for dd through the phone.
This doesn't sit right with me because surely hotel staff etc could access our room, what if they don't hear dd?
I'm trying to work out if I'm being precious here or if other people agree. It is making me feel a bit uneasy. They don't want to have to sit in the room with her as they'd need to be quiet so they didn't wake her... what the verdict mumsnet?

Great OP!

Oooohhhh are you in The Shard?! What's it like??

phew!

Don't do it and feel zero guilt. There's a very small chance something could go wrong but if it did the potential consequences are unbearable and life altering. Is your daughter worth £1m to you? Would you leave £1m in cash sitting alone in a hotel room and hope for the best? Nope.

I think you should just say you won't be able to enjoy your evening if someone is not in the room with her. Hence can they do that. I would not leave a 12 year old in a hotel room on their own let alone a four year old. Plus once she is asleep I am sure they can put the tv on and not wake her...

Yes we were it was lovely, especially the Sky bar the view was incredible.
The food we had in the restaurant was very good but not to my palate really, some of the courses were a bit far for me but was worth it for the view alone.

Lucky you! DH is taking me to dinner there but we balked at the cost of waking up to that view given that we live 20 mins from London Bridge by train!! I would love to enjoy breakfast in bed.

Glad it worked out and you had a lovely evening.

That is such a meaningless analogy.
