:roll: You seem to be projecting. OP did everything she could short of leaving the trip or having the nanny be sole provider to make it easier for tge grandparents. They never should have accepted if they were going to throw a bitchfest like this. [/quote]

so--not only should GPs put up with everything thrown at them they should shut up about it as well?  entitled much?  bottom line is that the parents are the only ones who are ultimately responsible for their kids.[/quote]

Parent have to entrust responsibility for their children to other people all the time - be it daycare, nannies, babysitters, teachers, extended family. It isn't realistic or healthy for parents to never leave their child's side for a decade. Op was extremely repsonsibile in planning out a schedule that didn't place undue burden on anyone person, providing all the resources necessary, and had a past history of grandparents being able to manage and be responsible for the kids. they had to put the kids to bed and handle a couple accidents and a couple night wakings. Obviously in the end, that was too much for them, however most 50 yr old women I know could handle that without a problem. I don't think there was anyway for OP to anticipate they would fall apart the way they did and she did everything possible to make this go as smoothly as possible. OPs mother is likely in the same age range, had even greater responsibility, was able to adapt and managed just fine. [/quote]
