Re: Future PMeg
H and I were having this conversation. I think it's fine. My parents shipped us to our grandparents' or to my aunt and uncle. It was fun. H thinks it's irresponsible parenting.
I don't plan on letting go of my not-kid-friendly vacations. H will just have to come to terms with it
Yes!! There are certain trips that kids just need to not be on. Of course we'll do family trips but the grown ups need to be alone too.
We got dumped on my grandparents and aunt and uncle all the time, including during birthdays, major school or sporting events, etc. My parents probably started going on full week-long vacations alone when my little sister was under a year old. They probably didn't do that as much with the older kids, but we'd get sent off for weekends or overnights from babyhood on.
But my aunt and uncle left their first with us for a weekend when he was 4 days old. They were moving, so it's not like they were having some fabulous getaway, but still.
As long as the grandparents aren't jackholes, live it up.
my parents would drive the 12 hours to pick the kid up if we wanted to do this.
If your parents are good with the idea, do it. As a parent we left our first for a long weekend when he was about 6 months old. As a grandparent I love to keep my grandkids. But some grandparents can't or won't. My H's parents would have fell into both these categories, I would NEVER have let them keep my kids, and they never would have asked or wanted to.
