[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP.  I grew up spending the summers with grandparents 10,000 miles away.  My dad couldn't come.  My mom came.  I would have never been so close with my grandparents without those summers.  My kids are now 3,000 miles away from their grandparents who don't travel anymore because of age/health.  I have been taking them since they were 2 years old every summer for two months to stay with them.  If DH is upset, then that is his issue.  Who knows how long my parents will be living.  They are already in their mid-80s.  In OPs case she is going to her hometown so I assume there will be her family there too.  Go for it.  DH has 10 months of the year with them.  [/quote]

If the genders were flipped no one would ever say that a mother should just happily give up two full months with their child a year to facilitate a relationship with the grandparents.

However by prioritizing her family of origin of her spouse it sounds like op is heading towards giving up 50% of custody.[/quote]
