Would you send your under 6 month old baby to another state with family for some time?

Question

Just wondering how normal this is

Accepted Answer

What?? Absolutely not. No. Never. I’d literally have to be on my death bed with no other options to even consider it.

Answer

I would never. I wouldn’t even send my 3 year old out of state without me.

Answer

My son hasn’t even slept a night without me yet and he’s now 19 months old. No way in hell
Would I send him anywhere without me.

Answer

I won’t even let my mom, who lives 15 mins away, take the baby without me.

Answer

Nooo.. I havent even let my 7 year old go off with his aunts for a day without me 😂 I need to be there to make sure he is as safe as possible and I cannot put that on anyone else, that is my job. I couldn't imagine allowing my 6 month old to leave the state without me

Answer

Never. Not even older. Sorry. My one job is to protect my kid. Wouldn’t allow it till she was a teenager and I’d have very specific guidelines lmao.

Answer

What in the world?! No way in hell would I send my 6th month old out of state. My son is 2 and has only ever been left for one night when I gave birth to his sister and even then his papaw came and stayed at our house with him. That’s way to young to be that far from mama if not 100% necessary as in you aren’t fit to care for the child. Imo.

Answer

Nope. My oarenrs live in another state and my mom makes comments about letting my oldest stay there (shes 4!) . I’m like youre joking right ? Lol 
My mom also forgets how kids are and isnt  that great with them tbh. She’s to much of a. Worry wart. And fun killer. And she isn’t physically fit enough to keep up with a 4 year old for a week. 
I also don’t trust her to watch her close like I do if out in public etc. 
and I’d miss my daughter ! 
And she’s too trusting with a lot of ppl that I don’t trust her judgment .

Answer

Without you??? Why? Only if I was literally dying. I didn't even let my husband take our son out of town without me until he was 3

Answer

I guess it depends on what “some time” is, especially because I’m still breastfeeding and covid is an issue. But I think it’s epic that my kids have strong attachments to other family- my sister and parents. I would send either or both of my girls to them at any age (more often they come here, but my firstborn did a week in Chicago with them. My mother had been watching her everyday from 4 months on and around 10 months wanted to go to Chicago with my dad and sister. She took my daughter and everyone had a blast)
