[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your wife getting help for her anxiety? I would work on this first. This trip might be to much for her. You might on to talk about not going as it might be a lot for her. [/quote]

I disagree with this, to an extent. OP - is your wife's concern about this proportional to your daughter's reaction? It sounds like it is.

First kid, Covid, plus 10 months is prime separation anxiety time. And it sounds like they aren't keeping the baby totally sheltered - they've been getting her used to spending time apart by leaving her with her other grandparents an hour at a time, and it's not always going well. It's totally reasonable to not want to leave a baby going through a separation anxiety phase with people she doesn't know, in an unfamiliar place, for hours at a time. That's not fun for anyone.

There's nothing wrong with this.  Is it your first child? I remember when i had my first, i was always anxious to leave her even with her dad, but slowly it went away. She is 5  now and it's fine, she is a well adjusted kid.  I am much better about my #2,  though i still wouldn't leave my 1 yr old with anyone but my husband or my mother (she cares for him on a day to day basis /primary caregiver during the work day).[/quote]
