[quote=Anonymous]I would say that my in-laws took DS (the exactly 2 years old) for a week after DD was born. Lots going on medically here- bed rest at 30 weeks for preterm labor, in and out of the hospital trying to buy DD time, DD born at 35 weeks by emergency C-section, but was able to come home with me. So yes, I loved that my mother came for a week to help, and that we did not have to worry about DS while I was in the hospital and for my first 4-5 days at home, when I basically slept and fed the baby.  By the time he came back, I was able to be up and about, and was healing well. And was able to give DS attention too.  So I think it's nice that your in-laws are stepping up to help. If for no other reason than because they can shower him with attention while his mother is in the hospital, recovering from childbirth, trying to establish BF, etc. Not a ton of attention there for the older DC.

Now the travel  thing is weird, no doubt. But it sounds like a case of bad timing and your in laws not wanting to let you down after you planned this grand trip, but also wanting to lend a hand with a new grandchild. Maybe you could push the trip a couple months, so they could do both, separately?[/quote]
