Would you go next door if baby is in bed?

[Bloodyfreezinng]

Next door neighbour has invited me a round for a glass of wine. DS will be in bed next door I have camera on his room so I can see him.

Would you go or not? Or does it feel to much like a Madeline McCann situation.

DS is 2

I know. For a drink too!

Would you really take that risk......all for a glass of wine with a neighbour?
Unbelievable.

This - pop a parcel over etc but not a social visit.

Omg No!!!! Jesus Christ

The thing is,all that might be true - but if the worst happened, how would you feel about it? On top of that, you would have to explain to the police why you left your baby unattended while you went drinking next door.

Yes, the risk may be minuscule but the consequences would be life-changing.

It sounds silly, but if next door was a flat across so you took 3 steps/ you're 2 flats in same floor of small building, then I'd say yes. So you could be back in seconds.
If you need to go to a fully separate building or several flights of stairs/lift (eg if a big block) then I'd say no.

Would you be comfortable enough with your decision to go and admit to people you had done that? Would you feel embarrassed/ashamed if you had to explain your reasons to a police officer or social worker?
My 2yr old is a crap sleeper anyway but I couldnt bring myself to do it, even with my 12 year old here i dont think I would.

I probably wouldn't do it no, but if your video monitor has signal next door so you can watch him clearly and next door is attached and not detached tbh I think alot of people are being abit over the top about it and I don't think you would be a bad person to do it. My house is so small I would be closer to a child asleep in my house next door then I would be sat in the living room of some of the houses I've baby sat at.

No

Disgusting? Come on now.

Definitely not.

What if there's a fire? No.

Yes, it is literally next door, like being in another room.

You've got eyes on your baby, so go for it.

Of course not.

Yeah … it would feel pretty safe to me. And as I said - I’m no risk taker.

Detached house? I’d probably think differently. Child that was prone to waking up and trying to wander around? Ditto. Newborn? No I’d take them with me. No video monitor? No.

Shes not suggesting she’s going down to the pub for a few hours.

By some of the standards here army married quarters would be full of toddlers sleeping in their cots while one parent serves overseas and the other is enjoying wine next door . Just as well it doesn't happen..

Exactly. I’m also not sure how people with big houses are able to feel comfortable going to the other end of it when their children are asleep, by the logic of people of this thread… what if my house is spread over multiple floors, what if I have a big garden?

It's not though is it. Presumably the OP will lock her door if she goes to her neighbours and her neighbours door is probably also locked. It's not like simply going from one room to another
It is leaving a very young child in a house alone.
There are too many things that could go wrong they may be unlikely but unlikely things happen. The door key could jam (this has happened to me before). There could be a fire and OP might not be able to get back. If the fire breaks outbl down stairs she won't see it on the camera. She could be distracted chatting and drinking with her friend and nit notice the baby crying.
OP says she doesn't like people in her house but surely that's better than leaving a two year old alone in q house?

no

What's the army got to do with anything?

I think the risks are so low but I just wouldn't be able to enjoy or relax at all, so what's the point. Feels wrong to close a door between you two. Get your neighbour to come to yours :)

It's weird because it's not much different to being in your own garden if you have a monitor that reaches but it just seems so much worse. So it's a no from me

No. You can’t fuck off for a glass of wine when you have a 2 year old.

I’m sure it probably does.

Never see it .
