[quote=Anonymous]You are working through/conflating a bunch of different issues in this post and would really benefit from unpacking them. (I am a parent of twins and did solo and not solo travel with them as infants).

First, A LOT depends on the distance and mode of travel for these trips. A 2-4 hour drive solo with twins that age for a one week trip is no big deal. But a cross country flight is a lot.

What types of travel have you done so far that have worked well/not well? What do each of you think is *too much* travel for the babies? Why?

How much are you willing to be away from the babies if she travels solo with them? Will she have more day-to-day help with them while visiting her family than home with you?

Can you figure out a way to address the imbalance you feel about visiting each of your families? It's perfectly reasonable to limit visits with her friends when you go to her hometown, but there are also LOTS and lots of other ways to solve that problem. The fact that it's looming large suggests that you're not really communicating well.

What are your work obligations? What are hers?

Recognize that you are both probably more exhausted than you've ever been and it's not going to get better for a while - but communicating more rather than less is the answer to figuring things out. [/quote]
