[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe I’m some kind of helicopter parent or something because it would never even occur to me to leave my 2 year old out of a week long family vacation.  Like what even is this question? Of course you should not do that. [/quote]

There was a post a year or two ago where Op wanted to leave her 2 yr old with (semi)hands-on grandparents while she and her older kids could more easily travel and enjoy a trip back to her country or vacation or beach or something of the sort. She didn't want to be bogged down with the nap schedules, feeling limited, doing activities with the older kids, etc.

The OP of that thread was going for 3 weeks, and leaving her child with two different sets of grandparents and daycare. This was also pre-pandemic and her child was under 2.

I can’t believe there are multiple families who consider doing this.  I mean I have young children, I get that the logistics of traveling with them suck sometimes.  But that’s just part of having kids right? Like if you didn’t want to be bogged down with kid logistics why did you have them?

Just plans trips that will work for all family members, it’s not that hard.  [/quote]
