HE really missed her and still says we should have done something differnet for vacation. (i was fine about it, strange reversal)<br /><br />what we find works out well for us to get some mom and dad time is to do just one overnight. For instance, for New Year's, my mom is coming the 31st, we're going to windsor to a show at the casino and spending the night at the hilton, then the next day we come home and grandma goes home. it's only about 24 hours but it's a great time for mom and dad. OR maybe if you went up north to visit your mom, one night the two of you could drive to Traverse City (or even a hotel in Alpena!) and catch a movie or a show or whatever you want to do. Same thing for GR. If you feel anxious and nervous about leaving her, it probably wont' get better when you are gone and might make you have a worse time. she'll be older soon enough and you could try vacations away then. BUt of course, this is just what works for us, maybe something else would work for you.Gretchen H.noreply@blogger.com
