[quote=Anonymous]I would also say no to the request of going without either parent.

But, the way I would handle it is to have a discussion with your husband.  Not confrontational, not asking why he threw you under the bus (I agree with the PP that he might have been caught off guard by the request and was trying not to react too strongly on the call), but calmly.  Just explain that you do not want your children traveling out of the country without one of the two of you.  If his mother and sister want the kids to visit her in her home, then he will need to take leave and go with MIL and the children to visit his sister.

So, you are not barring the children from going and visiting, you are just putting the caveat on that the only way they can go is if their father goes with them.  Then it is up to him to decide how important the visit is for the kids.  If it's important enough for him to appease his mother and sister, he takes leave and goes with them.  If not, then they don't go.[/quote]
