[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My perspective is probably a bit different on this, but due to a combination of extensive work travel last summer (for me) and a move and a husband with an inflexible work schedule, my almost 4 year old spent the summer several states away with my parents. We visited 3 times and took her on a week long vacation and attempted to FaceTime daily, but time zone changes for me made that difficult some days. She has been begging since she came home to go back for the whole summer again. The plan is to go for just 2 weeks this summer and she is very disappointed.

We also left her when she 15 months for 7 days/6 nights with my parents, 2 days/1 night when she was a year, and 4 days/3 nights when she was a bit over two.[/quote]

Sounds like your 4yr old likes the stability of her grandparents instead of the instability of her own parents.  That is sad.  [/quote]

Oh give me a break. Grandparents have a pool and a beach, 2 acres of land, and are both retired and entirely doting all day long on her. She was the center of the universe for the summer and spoiled with ice cream and popsicles and all manner of things grandparents love to give to grandchildren. Of course that's more fun than getting up and going to daycare every day year round. I'd much rather spend my summer that way as well, even as an adult. [/quote]
