Yes but on 3 days notice I am scrambling. This is something I would have liked to know about before booking so so could have taken the kids or interviewed sitters and found a good fit [/quote]

If you want to abandon your kids for two weeks that’s on you but clearly she does not want to be responsible for them.[/quote]

I cannot help but feel the same thing. Anybody would think a 12-day vacation away from the kids these days is appropriate is also somebody who steamrolled grandma into saying yes in the first place. I would cancel that trip and get serious family therapy.[/quote]
This is just ridiculous. Plenty of people are happy to watch their grandkids for a couple of weeks.[/quote]

I don't know of any grandparent who want to watch their grandkids on their own for a couple of weeks.  I know of grandparents (husband and wife pair), who will look after a grandchild or multiple grandkids, for part of the day, in their own house.  No one is doing this when they are single and alone and elderly, in someone else's house, 24/7 for two weeks.  No. One. And two kids below 6? No way.

OP seems like one of those people who believe in getting the last drop of blood from the MIL because it seems the MIL is dependent on her son for financial help.  OP is basically a disgusting POS. [/quote]

You. Are. Wrong.[/quote]
