[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just hire a sitter[/quote]

Yes but on 3 days notice I am scrambling. This is something I would have liked to know about before booking so so could have taken the kids or interviewed sitters and found a good fit [/quote]

If you want to abandon your kids for two weeks that’s on you but clearly she does not want to be responsible for them.[/quote]

I cannot help but feel the same thing. Anybody would think a 12-day vacation away from the kids these days is appropriate is also somebody who steamrolled grandma into saying yes in the first place. I would cancel that trip and get serious family therapy.[/quote]
This is just ridiculous. Plenty of people are happy to watch their grandkids for a couple of weeks.[/quote]

Not my parents or inlaws. This type of ask is not that common. [/quote]

Yes, it is. Your personal parents and inlaws are immaterial.[/quote]

Well OPs own parents are MIL aren't stepping up so, doesn't look good for her either. [/quote]

YUP. And if MIL so awful and OP’s parents are so great, why wasn’t that the arrangement or the ask in the first place? It makes more sense for two grandparents to take this on than a single grandparent. Hmm….[/quote]
