Would love some opinions on this dilemma which has caused argument between myself and DH this evening.
Scenario is we live overseas, both sets of parents live in UK. One set live together in midlands, other set are divorced and live at opposite ends of country. We have one DC who is 1 and is very much loved by all grandparents but due to loving away has not spent much time with them at all.
Planning trip to UK later this year and discussion has arisen about which is fairer:
- Time is split between 2 families. So one set of grandparents gets 2 weeks and the other gets 2 weeks. This means the second set actually only get 1 week out of the 4 we are home because they are not together.
- Split the time evenly by 3. This means the 'together' parents only get 1/3 of the time through no fault of their own.
Before we had DC we would spend some time with our parents separately but now all they want is to spend time with DC so that doesn't work.
Which option is U?
