I can't figure out the problem. OP isn't mad that the child is coming, isn't upset by the grandparents bringing the child, sees an upside since her own child will be there, and knows that the other parents will be giving birth and are unable to go... What's the problem here? It sounds like an awesome inter-generational, happy family visit to a country that means something to the family and is affordable because they have accommodations for their stay.

Seriously, where is the problem? I don't see it.

+1.

We actually have a number of friends who send their infants/toddlers to live with grandparents abroad for 6-12 months because culturally, it is seen as natural and preferable for grandparents to be primary caregivers to their grandchildren when possible. My own in-laws wish I would be willing to do this! My kids ADORE their grandparents and the feeling is mutual.

Why assume this is burdensome for the grandparents? If it is, they should certainly speak up, but OP, I don't think we can make judgments about people involved in this situation.[/quote]
