to give or not to give?

maybe you could explain that a month is just to long ...offer two now and another two weeks later on in the year...

hi tesmel, i think there is nothing wrong if you allow your daughter to live with your mother-in-law, you will miss her i know but i think if you decline this offer, then it may cause some problems and definitely she loves your daughter, so dont worry much.

FIRST talk to your husband and agree. THEN present the following thoughts to your in-laws. They spend every day with your daughter, and you only get to see her on weekends. You love her and miss her. It is a nice thought that they want to take her on vacation with them. but because you see her so infrequently as it is, it will hurt you greatly if she is taken away from you for any longer than necessary. You need to spend time with her, and she needs to spend time with you and your husband. YOU are her parents. Thank them for being devoted grandparents, but remind them that you need time with your daughter, where they already have plenty of time.

I probably wouldn't want my daughther to be gone for a whole month - mine's only 9 months old now & i have no urge to let her stay anywhere! I don't think she'll be spending time with anyone - not overnight just for the sake of doing it - although i am waiting for the day when my Mum asks! Have a chat with your husband & just explain to him that it's hard enough on you're only able to see your daughter on weekends as it is without having to go for a full month with out seeing her. She's only 2 - what if it doesn't go as smoothly as in the in-laws are expecting it to? Someone else said you should let her go for the month coz she needs contact with other people but to that i would say - you're not leaving her with your patents just for fun, it's coz you have to work so sending her away for the full month just for fun isn't really worth it. I hope you guys can sort it all out & i wish you luck - just do whatever you feel most comfortable with & if it means the in-laws have to miss out, then so be it, i couldn't do it myself!

i think u should allow ur daughter to stay with ur mother in law...sometimes we need to keep our kids away from us....cause they have to get used to other members of the family...orelse it happens that at this tender age kids just cling to their mothers and no one else...we should give them some space...allow them to deal with other people also
