Open Question: Wrong to leave an infant for 7 hours?
Hi,
So my boyfriend and I will be visiting my family in Hawaii and we are getting a kick a*s room at a luxury 5 star hotel (Hilton Waikoloa). We are taking a trip to the Big Island from the island of Oahu just the two of us and our son for 3 nights. Then we will be returning to Oahu. I don't know anyone or have family on the Big Island so I am interested in hiring a babysitter to stay in the hotel room with our son for 7 hours. The hotel will provide a babysitter ... View All
Hi,
So my boyfriend and I will be visiting my family in Hawaii and we are getting a kick a*s room at a luxury 5 star hotel (Hilton Waikoloa). We are taking a trip to the Big Island from the island of Oahu just the two of us and our son for 3 nights. Then we will be returning to Oahu. I don't know anyone or have family on the Big Island so I am interested in hiring a babysitter to stay in the hotel room with our son for 7 hours. The hotel will provide a babysitter. The resort has a spa and dolphins and snorkeling and waterslides and waterfall caves with jacuzzi tubs hidden in them and so many other cool things. I wanted my finacee and I to be able to enjoy for 1 day which will not be possible with an infant.
You can't ride a waterslide carrying an infant and you can't snorkel with an infant and go through pounding waterfalls or sit in 105 degree hot tubs with an infant. I badly want to hire a babysitter to stay with our son for 7 hours and my fiancee is totally 100% against it. We will be on hotel grounds half the time and then maybe go to the beach and dinner the other half.
Our son is not even born yet (we will be going on the trip when our son is about 6 months old) and he has made it clear to me I am going to be a stay at home mom until our son is in school and that our son is never ever to be left with anyone other than a family member or very close and trusted friend. Which means no babysitters ever. I am glad to be a stay at home mom but the no babysitter EVER policy seems strict to me.
He said it is wrong and a very bad idea and I don't share his feelings. I feel that because it is a sitter the hotel will provide it seems safe. I do not feel mean about it either because it will litterally be his very first time ever being without me or his father or his grandmothers. It will probably be one of our only chances to have that nice time in a luxury hotel because the trip and hotel are a gift from family. Not something we could ever afford otherwise.
Do you think that it is mean and dangerous to leave a young infant with a sitter for 7 hours or do you feel he is overreacting? Opinions would be appriciated. Thanks!!!
to above person, he will not be alone for 7 hours, of course with a sitter. I just meant alone with a sitter. And it is not damn close to child abuse to leave any child alone it IS child abuse and I'd never do that. Close All
