[quote=Anonymous]DH and I have a 3-year-old. We’re looking ahead to the summer and reached out to both grandmas and an aunt to help out with childcare for a Labor Day wedding. Everyone is out of state (as is the wedding), so we asked if anyone would be interested in coming to DC for the weekend to babysit. After my mom and sister emailed/texted they are available to visit and help, my MIL emailed and suggested we send our toddler to New England with her in June where they would stay through Labor Day. My immediate reaction was to ask her if she was kidding because the idea is so far-fetched. I haven’t responded, but seriously?! WTF. I’m not sending my (young) child away for 3 months, and I think it’s crazy she’d think I’d even consider it! How would you tactfully but assertively tell my MIL her idea is totally inappropriate and unlikely to be on the table for discussion until our child is old enough for sleepaway excursions? Would you leave it for DH to deal with? [/quote]
