[quote=Anonymous]When my SIL was pregnant with her first, she kept saying she couldn't wait until she had the kid so that her and spouse can go on vacation alone and "recharge their batteries". I found it strange. I was convinced that once she had the kid she would change her mind. Well, she had the kid and when he was four months old, they left him for 8 days with my MIL while they went to the Caribbean.

I thought she would have missed the baby and would never do it again. Well she had a great time.

Then she has another kid, they are 15 months apart. She did the same thing. She left my widowed MIL with a 3 month and 18 month old for 8 days. MIL is in her late 60s. She was overwhelmed, we tried help her. She told them she can no longer do that.

My SIL was pissed.

Thoughts on this? I think it's pretty unmotherly to leave them that young. I think vacations are for FAMILY. I think I would be okay with a weekend away when the kids are OLDER, not babies.

The sad part is, they recently got divorced. I guess the vacations and alone time didn't help.

The reason I bring it up is SIL was pissed off at the MIL and brought this up.[/quote]
