My parents have offered to take DD off our hands while DH and I get to grips with round two of babyhood with our 3 month old DS. Does it make us bad parents for being keen on the idea? I do have slight pangs of guilt as it's quite a long time, but I think it'd be a really enriching trip for her (they live in the south of France) and would give her some much needed attention. She's currently feeling rather jealous, demonstrating it in many ways such as refusing food, crying at night, potty training regression and faking injuries. Is it a cop out on our part? We just want our well-behaved terrible two back!!

When my dc2 came along things became much easier when i acknowledged that my toddler was 80% of the work and the baby 20%. Things didn't change until the baby found its feet then there was a role reversal! Focus on your toddler - the baby will be happy wherever and whatever you are doing.
