[quote=Anonymous]I would say that we aren't comfortable with the idea of Johnny going on vacation without us. Maybe it is something we would consider when he is older. It is honest, direct but not harsh and primarily puts the blame back on you as parents and not them as grandparents (because to then it sounds more like it is your over protective/helicopter/unreasonable parenting that does now allow him to go rather than the fact that you don't trust them). And it buts you some time when they offer next year because you still aren't comfortable with it. If they are the type of people that will try to get more information out of you about why or argue with you that you should let him go just keep repeating that you don't feel comfortable with it. Trying to dodge dates will becomes obvious and lead to hurt feelings. Telling them that you don't trust them because of X, Y and Z would be even more hurt feelings.[/quote]
