[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Was just reading this thread on the travel forum and wanted to share it as just a random example of what I’m talking about. I have not commented on that thread but multiple posters recommend to the OP that she should just leave her kids with grandparents when she goes on vacation! Like, duh! Of course your kids’ grandparents will keep them for you! This is the pervasive attitude I’m talking about.

Re: the link, no, just no.  It was a question about what the grandparents can do, not an assumption.  Many of us do not have grandparents that can handle overnights, although some do.  [/quote]

PP again.  No, some parents are extremely lucky and take their (own) parents (the grandparents) for granted.  I told you about my friend upthread - the SIL used to go on tons of trips and you guessed it, the MIL would stay overnights for at least a week.  My friend asked her MIL once (!!) for a close relative's funeral only (two nights) - and it was a disaster.  Not worth it, OP. Enjoy your family, like your MIL did not. [/quote]
