Hello Grandparents and MIL's, I'm jumping on here instead of mumsnet to ask a question and get an answer from the GP/MIL point of view. I hope you don't mind. Recently, DH and I went to an engagement party when LO was 3 months. We were only going for about 2 hours to show face and then home again. MIL kindly volunteered to babysit at our house (we live 5 doors away), which we appreciated, so lo could stay in his own cot. We gave MIL her dinner and left. MIL had just finished work and was off for the next few days. As it was we came home after 1.5 hours, the situation is what happened next. I had not noticed but DH noticed an open bottle of wine. (We didn't have any alcohol in house and they didn't bring it with them.) When DH mentioned it, MIL said she only had one glass and complained how LO wouldn't settle. So FIL had gone to their house to pick a bottle of wine up. My view is even though it was only one glass, if I was paying a babysitter, I would not expect her to drink, and, as we were only away a couple of hours, surely she could have waited until we got back. I have not mentioned anything to MIL about the situation but she has asked when she is going to get him in the evening again. How can I explain that I would prefer her not to drink while she is taking care of LO without making an issue out of it. Thanks in advance
