ok well it is like this they kept my 5 year old when he was 2. and my 2 year old sleeps all night and he is a good baby he dont get into every thing that a normal 2 year old would. and another thing is that they can keep a three year old at night also but they cant a 2 year old that is a very well behaved child.

no i am a very good mother i just want them to be treated equal. my 2 year old knows what is going on. when he is in the window crying and say mamaw papaw then i think he knows what is going on. i do not like to party i dont drink nor do drugs i stay at home with my kids every day all day and i dont ask them to keep them but i will not allow them to show that much of a diffrence there are alot more issues then just the staying all night.

Tell the grandparents they can't have one over without the other. I understand the younger one is more trouble to control at that age and the grandparents probably can't chase after him anymore. But its traumatic for the younger one not to have the older brother with him. You are raising those kids not their grandparents so do what you feel is best for your kids.

I would let the 5 year old stay overnight with me and tell you to keep that 2 year old. Who wants a 2 year old waking up in the middle of the night screaming for a Mommy? You need to realize they are 3 years apart in age. The 5 year old would understand where Mommy is and that he would see her the next day, the 2 year old would not. You are just disgusted that you are stuck with the 2 year old and you wanted to go out to party. Didn't you?

You are their mother and surely you recognize the difference between a 2yr old baby and a a 5yr old ready for school. The baby is not aware of what its crying for, and you are being unreasonable. Your inlaws aren't choosing one over the other, they are simply enjoying the one old enough to enjoy, the baby will have its turn. You need to realize that your childhood has nothing to do with your children's. Don't confuse the two. Your inlaws had nothing to do with whatever it is that you feel was done to you, so don't punish them for it.
