I had a baby 2 weeks ago and my in-laws are offering to take my older kids ages 3 and 5 for shabbos. My sister in law is going there for shabbos and would take them in...I’m just so nervous to send them for shabbos when there’s no communication can’t call etc and they’re so little...

Sure, why not?? Go for it & rest up! They're not so little, they'll be ok.

I would definitely. It's the only way I was able to manage. My MIL and SIL watched my four year old and five yr old when I had my third . But they had been staying there all week not just Shabbos. I can tell you that my kids who are much older only have good memories being away for Shabbos at my in laws without me. I wouldn't hesitate.

Why the drama? If you don't trust them with your kids then don't send them.
Personally, I wouldn't have survived my post-baby weeks without sending my older ones to my in-laws. In my eyes, they're mature adults that can make life-and-death decisions for my kids just as effectively as I can.
You're the parent, though, and you have to do what you're comfortable with.

For sure! I’m surprised they’ve been never been before! It’s so good for both kids and grandparents to spend one on one time with grandparents!

Of course send them ! 3&5 is not so little.
Mine are the same age. I'm actually due in 3 weeks beh. And oh! What a great that would be! For someone to take them for shabbs...
Mazel tov! And rest up! Take what's offered! You need your sleep. Your space.
And don't worry. They'll be fine! They mightnot even miss you;) just be excited for them, and they'll catch the excitement from you!

I know they’re responsible people. I just never sent my kids to them alone before so I’m just being a nervous mother....and the fact that I can’t call to check on them but I’m sure they’ll be fine

I would send them in a heartbeat unless there is other cause for concern.

I'll be the voice of dissent. It depends very much on the personality of each child and also the caregivers. I have childhood memories of my own that make me pause before leaving young children anywhere without a parent for that long. I think this has to be a very individual decision.
