[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I'd hire a temp/emergency nanny.

She's saying she needs help if you're gone. She probably does-she works full time including some weekends. Hire some help and go see your mom!

Being annoyed at the wife isn't going to help. You and wife both have your hands full-get the help and go see your mom, knowing that your wife is ok at home with dc with help. I think the stress of your mom's illness is coloring your response to your wife.

I'm sorry about your mom. [/quote]
She can leave the child with OP while he visits with his mother. The grandmother might also like to spend time with a grandchild she seldom sees. Wife is being selfish.[/quote]

I think OP planning to care for the toddler alone in a foreign country while he's really there to visit his seriously ill mother is a bad idea. Under 2s are not exactly known for being able to do much of anything independently.

I do think the wife in this scenario needs to make the effort to help put care in place to support the husband going to visit his dying mother. I don't think that should totally be on the husband. He's not taking a vacation to pursue a hobby. He's got a family emergency.[/quote]
