My cousin lives in oz and his mum wants to visit him this summer, she is not a good traveller and would like someone to go with her. She is not much older than me.
My mum would love to go with her but she is terrified of flying so she has suggested that I go (I am very close to my aunt and speak to my cousin on skype 3-4 times a week).
Not only that, but she has offered to pay and said that she will help my dh with the children. She has suggested that I go for the full fortnight with my aunt but I couldnt bear being away from the dc for that long so I have been considering going for a week.
DH is ok with it, havent mentioned it to dc yet. They see my mum and dad lots so would be very comfortable with nan and grandad helping out. I'm a SAHM so time off work wouldnt be a problem either. There is nothing really stopping me apart from the dc.
I know they would be in good hands but I would miss them terribly and its not that quick to get back from oz in an emergency.
Its also probably the only chance I will get to go to oz. Aaaarrgghh, what would you do?
