Genuine advice please, I have been invited round for dinner next door (joined on semi). I have three smoke alarms in my house and a video baby monitor on which I can see my son when he is sleeping and hear any noise he makes - or any noise from the house etc. This monitor works really well next door so would I be ok to not get a baby sitter? My neighbour feels it is the same as being in the same house and to be fair I could sit staring at him whilst having a meal. I am not well off so cannot readily afford a babysitter, am I being a bit precious cos still feel slightly uneasy? (not because I feel I am compromising my son's safety, but because I feel I may be judged for doing this).
