[quote=Anonymous]This seems like a no-brainer. Be honest-ish. "We really appreciate the offer, but DH and I are just not ready to let DS go away for that long without us. We wouldn't be comfortable with it until he is a bit older and more mature. We'd like to hold off on that type of adventure until after kindergarten (or whatever distant date.) Maybe we can all get together on XXX at the pool/amusement park/your house so the cousins can have some fun." You don't need to get into those reasons. The reasons could be very hurtful. But you are adults, don't lie or evade. Just say you are not comfortable with it. If, however, you have let him go away with, say, the other set of grandparents, then you have a problem and should probably think about some way to let this set have alone time with your sone. Maybe just a night or two? Maybe not at the beach?[/quote]
