Just that really. I don't like the idea of not seeing my DD for 3 days and worry that she'd be upset also. But he is a competent dad and my inlaws are lovely. I can't go as supporting my own DM with cancer treatment.

IABU - its fine, let him take her
INBU - DD too little to be away from her mama for 72hrs

Thanks!

Of course it’s OK! They’ll have a great time, and the reunion with you will be lovely afterwards too.
