[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]

I don't know of any grandparent who want to watch their grandkids on their own for a couple of weeks.  I know of grandparents (husband and wife pair), who will look after a grandchild or multiple grandkids, for part of the day, in their own house.  No one is doing this when they are single and alone and elderly, in someone else's house, 24/7 for two weeks.  No. One. And two kids below 6? No way.

OP seems like one of those people who believe in getting the last drop of blood from the MIL because it seems the MIL is dependent on her son for financial help.  OP is basically a disgusting POS. [/quote]

Troll. OP is paying for full day camp. OP is paying for meals delivered. OP has arranged weekends when friends will care for her children.

Basically MIL has nothing to do except morning and evening routines 5 days a week for two weeks, and the rest of the time she can nap, watch TV and sit on the couch eating bonbons!

So stop it with the trolling. I am convinced that all of the threads critical of OP are either by people who didn't actually her original post, or trolls who just want to attack her for no good reason.

Hi OP, can yoy stop trolling and stop sock-puppeting. You are really a disgusting mother who thinks that someone else should take care of your  kids.  You do not have to pay MIL. You do not have to buy childcare on weekends. You do not have to buy food and camps.  Take all that money and instead pay for your kids to go on the vacation with you.  Problem solved. [/quote]

you are an idiot.  all that money is non-refundable or there are too many penalties for cancellations to be worth much. if only grandma told them sooner that she was not up for the job.
