my husband and i decided we wanted a night to ourselves , but we 've never let our son stay the night anywhere . i was pretty nervous . how old is your son ? he 's 3 now , but at the time he was about one and a half . we decided to let him stay with his grandparents that night . i can understand why you felt so nervous . a mothers attachment is rather strong to a newborn . you should get him a gaurd dog when he 's a bit older if you still feel that way .
The decision to let their young child stay overnight with grandparents for the first time triggered the feeling of trust.
