[quote=Anonymous]My 20 month old has travelled by plane and car to our family's beach house with grandma for overnights haha. And spent the night with all her other grandparents too. It helps to cement their bond, gives dh and I some alone time. In the beginning it was hard and I fretted aboiut it but I'm glad I forced myself to loosen up. It's better for my dd and my marriage. It takes a village isn't just a platitude...its reality if you want to keep some of yourself intact through childhood. Also your kid is five...if I were a grandparent I could understand reluctance at 2 or 3 but by 5 come on. My grandparents took me for a week to Disney world when I was 5! 5 is not s fragile flower, or at least they shouldn't be and honest y if your dd can't handle a night away at 5 then it would probably be good for her too.[/quote]
