[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody should be expected to do this. Take your kids with you next time, your trips alone are limited once you have kids. Now is the time to accept that and not ask for others to parent your kids for 2 weeks.[/quote]

I wanted to take them and still do. My husband says it’s mean to take away her opportunity bc she was relying on the money aspect. We are spending far more to have her babysit with her fee and camps than the 2 international flights. [/quote]

So give them what they want.  Shorten the trip to 6 days and pay her for 6 days.  She gets the length of visit she wants and your DH still gets to pay her some money.  [/quote]

Which is what she did but if they could actually communicate and make those decisions in advance we wouldn’t be out a bunch of change fees and now I have to change all the logistics, cancel after care for camp for the kids, etc.. Just plan accordingly. Don’t spring it on me 3 days before. There’s a lot of logistics involved in something like this and neither of them ever handle that so are very unaware of it. My husband is on the phone with the airline for several hours now so he’s getting a small taste of it but I’m always the one dealing with it and they are both flighty and bad planners. [/quote]
