[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me two weeks is a long time to leave my toddler and infant with my husband. Could you cut it down to one week?
Does she have any children?[/quote]

Two weeks to be with your sister, who has a brain tumor? Are you kidding me?  What is wrong with your husband?

OP, do NOT ask her to make the trip shorter due to your child care issues.  I didn't get the sense this bothered you from a mom standpoint, but just in case....[/quote]

NP.  Um, sorry but if making it a tad shorter means OP can actually go and have a stress-free time, that's for the best.  I understand sis is sick, but sadly the world does not stop because of it.  You have no idea what obligations OP's DH has or her kids' needs.  If two weeks is not feasible, it's not.[/quote]

Yeah, life threatening illness are so inconvenient for other people. [/quote]

Oh FFS, what if her sis had wanted everyone to take 2 months off or all year?  According to you, there's a life threatening illness so all bets are off!  A lot I people have to care for loved ones with terminal illnesses without the luxury of exotic bonding vacays, for financial or other reasons.  Just because you think two weeks is workable doesn't mean it is for everyone.  It doesn't appear to be OP's problem, but I take issue with the attitude shown to the PP who suggested 2 weeks might be kinda long. [/quote]
