[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She wants you to visit more often and leaving those things there will make it easier to travel also you do it more than once a year. Duh. When my kids were born my mom went out and bought a crib, borrowed strollers and high chairs and such all to make visiting her home as easy for us as possible. We appreciated it. But, there you go, always looking for the negative.[/quote]

I mean this seems the obvious answer. Who wants to haul a clunky stroller and pack-n-play across country multiple times. Just leave it there since you know you’re coming back. [/quote]

This is definitely the answer and I was immediately confused and your confusion around it to be honest. It sounds like there aren't a lot of warm and fuzzy feelings around MIL so maybe that's why. But it's really normal for grandparents to say hey leave that here (and then you can use it next time you come!) to try to make it easier on you. Both set of our parents have pack and plays that they keep at their house and one set has a stroller. Granted they got most of that stuff used from other grandparents friends or bought it, but they both have the means to do that. I know MANY friends that have bought some basic stuff to leave at gramma's so they don't have to haul it on planes etc. It's very normal. [/quote]
