[quote=Anonymous]Wild that so many people think “baby is too young” on this thread.  There are babies all over the world. Unless you are going to a conflict zone, or a place where the baby would need a ton of shots and take preventative meds (like for malaria) or there’s some other dangerous endemic disease, I personally don’t see why not to take baby.  But, you should get some kind of baby helper while you’re there because you want to be able to focus on your mom at times.

I find your wife’s attitude that you can’t take the baby for 2-3 weeks to another country to see your dying Mom to be incredibly selfish.  This is the last time your Mom may be able to see baby. Last time for you to build significant memories with your baby and her, take pictures, and build memories with your Mom about your own childhood and child-raising,  etc.

I would maybe try again with wife, but only after you have found childcare at your Mom’s.  Also consider that you go for 3 weeks and have Mom visit you for the middle week. That way she’s only away for a week at a time.

Obviously, try not to be resentful that your wife is so selfish when you re-present the idea. [/quote]
