[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We have had DD more than 7 days in a row (we usually take 3 weeks in the summer) but its just local, 3 min away from her house.  In the custody order we can't take DD out of town for more than a week.  I don't think the 12 days would be a problem if we were going to say...Hilton Head...but the longer amount of time combined with out of country makes DD's mom hesitant.  We all agree (dd's mom included) that Europe for 7 days isn't enough.  We are all just trying to see what works and what she is comfortable with.  I guess she's also a little concerned DD might start her period this summer (I guess her mom got it right after 11) and her being in Europe without her mom is worrisome to her.  I think thats a little far fetched but it certainly scared DH and worked on him.  I think "shadowing" the trip is the right decision here.  I think there is a small change DD's mom might warm up to the idea and the shadow suggestion might help her see we are trying to make it work for everyone.  I regret suggesting just taking the little kids. I apologized and all is well on that front.[/quote]

Is she 9 or 11 -  you are posting two different things. To not send a child because of her period is bizarre.  They have all the supplies she needs and you will b there.  She could get it anywhere from 9-14, so that's just an excuse.  I would get a court order for more visitation and the trip.[/quote]

She's 9 now. Will be 10 on the trip. I agree its bizarre. DH and I both want to stay away from court. Not interested in that road. [/quote]
