Couple's time

Instead of telling her what she CANNOT do, why not tell her something she CAN do?

Like I'll pack my boy's fave snack & ask my mum to feed him that. Will also tell her what to give him at what time so that she wont have any chance to give him other nonsense.
Ja ja...I second this. I recently tried this trick with my mum and things were way better. Really like handling children. :/

Just try it out this once and see how. If it works out great, then you and your hubby can have more couple time together in future. If not, then no choice, gotta be threesome all the time.

I leave my kids with my mum overnight. In fact, left DS when he was 4mths old with my mum and went for a trip with DH & DD. But different lah for my case cos mum was helping care for my kids when I work.

I guess all the concerns are understandable and valid. But you will never know until you try. And even if your MIL gave your kid a little of the stuff that you won't give currently, doubt it will cause much harm. Just make sure she knows if your kid has any allergies.

annie, I am like u -- feel uncomfy to leave my baby with someone while enjoying couple time...

hubby feels that i put too much emphasis on our baby and suggested a couple date... we took leave on a weekday and left baby at infant care... our plan was to watch a movie, lunch and shopping... on our 1st couple date, i started to feel guilty and fetch baby from infant care after movie and quick lunch... hubby was disappointed...

this week, we had our 2nd couple date. we went for the movie 2012, had sumptous japanese lunch and shopping -- had a wonderful relaxing day :) guess it comes with practice and we mummy must learn to let go...

do give it a try and hope u enjoy the must-awaited coupe time :)
