[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hold up folks.

This is not some pilgrimage to the homeland to visit grandma.

Young single SIL, who’s injured, is living abroad.

Elderly divorced MIL who lives in the states would bring the 8 yo and 10 yo to visit her adult daughter, their aunt.

Just No. it’s paperwork city for others to travel with someone else’s kids. Not clear how long SIL has lived in this country or if MIL has ever been there or travels much long haul anyways. I mean, can you imagine if something happens during the long travel day with grandma? Or what either SIl or MIL do if the elementary school kids are bickering and fighting?

This is so No Go and half baked.

Did they at least invite you parents too? [/quote]

Who are you telling to “hold up”?  As far as I can tell not a single person has said OP was in the wrong to say no.  Some offered that they might say yes under certain conditions.  Some others suggested that MIL/SIL were not inherently wrong to make the request.[/quote]
I assume it was hold up to the people who keep twisting up that SIL is taking the kids to visit grandmother who lives overseas.

Instead SIL led the conversation that old MIL wants to take their kids to where SIL lives and works or studies.

It done thing to do something familiar- and with much older kids, another to just do a boondoggle with someone’s 3rd and 5th grader. [/quote]
