[quote=Anonymous]I do things with my parents without my spouse regularly. He has much less vacation time than me, so if I didn’t take our kids to see them without him, it wouldn’t happen or would happen much less frequently. Even if it works out that he can come, my mom and I will go out shopping and stop for lunch, or catch a movie neither he nor my dad want to see, he would never want in on that.

Now, on the other hand, I wish he would take the kids alone to his parents. But we did send him alone to see them after the adults were vaccinated since we live on the opposite coast from them and hadn’t seen them for quite some time at that point. Kids are too young to be vaccinated, so I stayed home with them.

I think a lot of this depends on distance too. We live far from both sets of parents so requesting time alone while we are visiting (versus it happening organically) would really be a burden on the excluded spouse since it would entail entertaining kids in a generally non kid friendly space that you aren’t terribly familiar with.
