A mum raged at her in-laws' suggestion that her toddler should sleep in a separate building on their upcoming family holiday. The family have planned the trip together and booked a large apartment complex, including a large villa and an unfenced pool.
The grandparents hatched a plan for the kids under three years old to sleep in different quarters of the villa so that they do not wake up everyone else if they get up through the night, reports the Daily Mirror.
However, one mum was labelled unreasonable for wanting to tweak the plan. She posted on Mumsnet and said: "Accommodation is a large villa with additional connected apartments, but with separate entrances. There's also a pool which is unfenced.
"Current proposal is that those with young kids take the apartments, thus ring fencing the kerfuffle at 6:30am when they all wake up, and letting those in the main house get a bit of a holiday lie in."
But the mum was uncomfortable with this and suggested that either her or her husband would be going to bed with their two-year-old daughter each night. However, her plan started to cause issues with the group.

She continued: "I have said, ok, makes sense but obviously either husband or I will effectively go to bed with my daughter each night because I don't want to leave her by herself in a different building (separate entrances) with potential hazards around (unfenced pool, one apartment is up stone steps with a balcony, what if the air con catches fire)," she said.
"According to the in-laws, I'm being totally unreasonable. Nothing will happen to her, just lock all of the doors so she can't get out, it's no different to her being asleep upstairs in the house, I'm creating a rod for my own back, just whack on a baby monitor, blah blah blah."
Many posters on Mumsnet replied in support and said she is right to have these concerns. One person wrote: "You should do what you feel comfortable with, you're the parents."
While another stated: "I agree and there's not a hope I'd leave her." A third penned: "Agree I wouldn't leave her either."
