MY daughter is 3 yrs old and she goes to Day-Care. Last week-end i asked her best friends mum if her daughter cld come ansd spend the week-end at our house and she agreed with condition that the next coming week-end my dauhter goes over to her place. now as the week-End draws nearer i tend to wish i had'nt agreed to the condition. I know it is not fair as her daughter did come to my place. I have never once been apart from my baby and if i was going out i always left her with family+My daughter is very personal. What sld i do!!!!THE WEEK-END IS GETTING NEARER

now if this little girl lives close to your family, then u can always be reassured that your just a few minutes away if she needs anything, but most likely it will be okay. Maybe you should first arrange a play date to get to know the mother, or atleast tell the mother that your baby girl is personal.
If you do decide to let her go, when you leave, you can say, honey i love you and ill see you in a few days! Have fun with your friend and tell me how it goes, or just sumthin like that
Good Luck With your problem, and PLEASE gimme n honest rate!!

It is going to have to happen at some time anyway.
Mind you, I think at the age of 3, that's waaaay too young for having sleep-overs. Hell, my 4 year old doesn't even have sleep-overs yet.
Unless you have real trepidation about the family that your daughter would be staying with for the night, you should probably go through with your end of the bargain. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
GC_rox_my_sox answered Friday June 25 2004, 9:37 am: As your daughter gets older, you're going to have to face this problem sooner or later. By keeping your daughter locked up and away from her friends, it's just going to damage your relationship later on. I think you are right that you shouldn't send her to her friend's house for the whole weekend; that's a long time for a 3 year old to be away from her mother. What I would do it have a play date this weekend where both you and the other mother could get together and both of your daughters could play together.

your just a nervous parent. to my guess shes probably ur first one. Its all going to be fine. leave the other girls mom your cell #, home numba, work #, Grandparents #, anything.most likely nothing horrible will happen to ur daughter. When u say goodbye tell your duaghter its allright and dont be scared and tell her u'll see her at the end of the weekend. most likely if ur so close to her she probably be a little upset too. Dont forget to tell her that if she ever wants to go home she can.
Hope this helps! [ LiL_TeEnA_Ox's advice column | Ask LiL_TeEnA_Ox A Question ]

storageanddisposal answered Friday June 25 2004, 2:39 am: Well, does she take good care of her own child? I've seen how mother's can get attached to their child at this age. But she did trust you with her own. If you really don't think she should go over there, explain it to the other mother. I'm sure she'll understand, considering that she's a mother too.
