10.5 month old spending weekend away

It is my bday in 6 weeks and our DD will then be 10.5 months.

She knows my parents and her other grandparents well. She seems to have a preference for the men over the women (typical!) but is comfortable with all 4 of them.

She has spent a night at my parents (a few weeks back) and all was well.

The weekend that we are going away will be 2 nights away from her.

My first choice (just because they are my folks) was to ask my own parents. They can do the Saturday and Saturday night, Sunday day but the Monday.

My MIL does not work on Mondays.

We thought that it might be nice for our DD to be dropped off at my parents on the Saturday (by us), spend the night there and be "swapped" over to my in laws on the Sunday, to spend the afternoon and evening there, picked up Monday lunch.

My parents are happy with this but MIL thinks that its like pass the parcel and will upset DD. She would prefer to have her for the duration (I know we are lucky!)

What do you think? Would it be unsettling for DD?

I trust my in laws and there arent any issues. Its just that my parents love having her and are a bit more careful (overly protective!) of her.

Also DD will probably be crawling by then and neither set of parents have dealt with that for 30 odd years!

Sorry, it should read that my parents can't do the Monday day.

I think I agree with your MIL - leave DD with one set of grandparents for the duration.

The other set can have her another time.

Thanks Anna

Do you think that I should trial her staying there for one evening as she has never stayed there and we will be out of the country but

Yes, it would probably be kinder to have left her for one night first - then you can iron out any care issues that might arise.

Thanks, am aware it probably sounds like "just" common sense but as I cant remember being 10 months old, its good to ask people with experience of 10 month olds.

She is quite anxious with other people if I am there but then by all accounts has a great time once I am gone!
