[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry but no way would I go on a trip with a 3yr old and 8th month old. Sounds horrible[/quote]

I’m also in this boat. Both of my kids at 8 mos would have freaked out being left with a strange nanny. Heck it would have been traumatic for them even at 3 — one of them started full time daycare at that age and cried all day long the first several days. Then there is the issue of being off schedule due to time change and all the extra moodiness and crankiness from sleepdisruption — no thank you! My in laws wanted us to go on a short Paris trip when our kids were slightly older than OP’s and I declined for all these reasons. Of course, I also do not care to spend time with my in laws, so in my case it was like enduring pain in order to do something also painful. [/quote]

Thank you! I think some posters just don't remember what it's like to have small children. Sure two nannies are great in theory, but not really practical for clingy toddlers, there's no just handing them over to people they just met. And my other sister's kids are also involved in sports so missing a month would also make it difficult.

unlike some posters are trying to imply,   I do like my sister, we see each other frequently. I would like to be able to go, but can't and feel bad about saying no, and I know she's disappointed things aren't what she had hoped.  I also don't think it's fair for me to ask her to go somewhere else or take a shorter trip.[/quote]
