When did you leave your children with someone else overnight for the first time?

I'm a first time mom to twin boys. They're almost 16 months. We have never been apart more than about two hours at a time and that's only with family babysitting. I'm just very uncomfortable with the whole idea. Nobody is going to protect or take care of them like my husband and I will. I'm also very skeeved out by the thought of a stranger (babysitter or preschool teacher) changing their diapers. You just don't know what people's intentions are or what they're hiding and I don't wanna have to go to jail. I don't like the idea of unleashing them on someone else, so to speak. They're not in their terrible twos yet but they act like it sometimes and I'd be mortified if they misbehaved with someone else and I wasn't there to correct their behavior and apologize.They're still so young, I'm not at all comfortable with us being apart overnight until they're 7+ at the very least. I've talked to my mom and she said she was the same way with me, that's why I didn't go to preschool or spend the night at grandma's. I didn't even spend the night away from home until I was 18, but that was less my mom's doing and more because I had no friends.Anyway, all this is because my husband has vacation time that needs to be spent before the year is over and he wants to go away for a weekend just us. My immediate thought was HELL NAW but he's been trying to talk me into it. Our best friends (who are much like family) have offered to watch them, as well as my little sister (but she's only 20 so I'm definitely not trusting a kid to watch kids.)I know a lot of people have left them at this age and younger but do you have any regrets? Anybody who waited later have thoughts?? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2OWC9m5
