Can someone tell me if I'm being irrational,
So my daughter (11 months old) is going for her first sleepover this weekend at my partners parents I was already feeling a bit anxious about this then my partner came home and said his mum was going to go in the spare bed for the night with LO. I just felt this totally unnecessary she has slept in a cot in her own room since January. I also feel that it will be a big enough change for my daughter without being in a bed with someone she's not used to really cuddling into. I mentioned a travel cot but I could see he thought I was just trying to be awkward.
Anyway I've decided I'm totally uncomfortable with it and I want things to be as normal as possible for my daughter so I said to my MIL that I was getting a travel cot and she then said to me will she not settle in a big bed I said no and she said not even with cushions I said no (because I know for sure she will not settle for the night like this) and I said I wanted to be as normal as possible for my daughter and this included sleeping in a cot. I actually don't see any logic in her thinking at all as LO goes to bed at 7./7.30 so it means they would either have to go to bed at that time with her or check on her every two minutes as it is a big high bed they have so it would be quiet a fall. I just hate the thought of my daughter waking up and looking for me and being upset so I feel this is totally adding to my anxiety about her first over night stay. I just think it's very selfish and there was no thought as to ask me what's actually best for My daughter so it goes as smoothly as possible! I then think perhaps I'm being totally irrational!?
Any feedback appreciated,
P.s I like how she told my partner she was going to sleep with LO all night but said to me she'd be surrounded by cushions and no mention of bed share
