[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my daughter was little, the first time I left her with my mom was at 6 months.

As a grandmother, I have had my grandkids sleep over starting very young. And then I traveled with them too, to take them to visit their great grandparents. The older child's first visit out of state was when she was 4 months old, and the younger child's first out of state visit was when he was about 6 months old. Both did fine and travel with me all the time to see their great grandparents and their mom has no issue whatsoever with allowing me to take either child, whether together or separately[/quote]

Wow, you must have been a young mother.  Your children must also be young parents.  I don't know very many people who actually have greats anymore.

The young ages of parenting may play a role in this for you and yours.  Honestly, it sounds sweet and kind of old fashioned.  I don't know anyone IRL who would allow the access and traveling that you describe having with your grandchildren.  Not in this day and age and not in a large city.[/quote]

Our 9 month old stayed with my parents for four days -went smoothly despite my exclusively breastfeeding.   She's gone on to spend up to two weeks at a time including trips to California, Colorado, and Tennessee.  DD loves my parents so much and it's wonderful to see their relationship (she's the first grandchild by the way). And no, I am not a "young mother."
