First time the girls are going to a babysitter - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I'm soo nervous!!! This is the second time in 4yrs that I'm leaving my babies, but the first time with a babysitter

The first time we went camping we left on a Friday and come home Sunday and my dad came to stay at my house with them..this time we're leaving tomorrow (sat) around noon for Dover, DE (for the nascar race Sunday) and we'll be back Sunday night. My parents are leaving for their cruise on Saturday night so they are unable to watch them. Two of our great friends said they would watch the girls for us for the night, drop them off at noon and they'll bring them home around 6:00ish Sunday night...they have 3 shorkies (2 boys & a girl). In the summer we go over and they all get along (for the most part) playing in the yard, i'm nervous about them being in the house how will the be...at bedtime or when its time to eat?! I'm a wreck already but I know my girls are in the best hands and will have a great two days!! I'm upset and thinking what will they think about me dropping them off at their house and leaving them?! Will they be upset at me on Sunday?! I know it's only for the night, but man this is a hard thing to do!! Has anyone had to do this? Any thoughts on how to ease the dropping & leaving them?

Thank you for letting me share this with you!!

sorry to say it Mom- but the only problem will be you

you need to calm down and act like nothing is happening- just drop them- kiss them and leave- if you make a big deal of this they will be uptight and worried and this may make it harder to leave them there in the future. If it helps- i fill out a form- every time Layla goes to her sitters (she goes OFTEN) does her sitter need it? nope but i need to know she has it! I include these things:

meals- what they are- what she CANNOT have- when she usually eats them

when she usually pees/poops

Bedtime routine

emergency contacts

she puts this on her fridge (i'm sure to appease me

). and i feel better- i know layla is FINE there- beyond fine having the time of her life! So try not to worry- the more you do the more they will be upset- like i said- don't make a big deal when you leave them or they will catch on something is wrong.
