My ILs are visiting at the end of the month. We are thinking of taking them to Yorkshire for a few days as they've never seen much of the UK. It would involve going up to York on Sat and back on Tues.
Here's the tricky bit. DH and I are going to a wedding on the Sat. We can't take DD (who will be just under 9 months) as it's a kids banned wedding. Plan has been for ILs to look after DD at home while we are at wedding.
But now we're thinking of sending ILs on ahead with DD on the train to York. They will all spend the afternoon and night there and we'll drive up from London early next day to be there asap.
DD and I will have spent all that week with ILs so she will hopefully be accustomed to them by then. But it would be the first time she has been away from both her parents (and longest time away from me). But she is a very easy going girl and has always been fine with other people. ILs don't know the UK at all (they're from South Africa), but could def manage a train etc.
Does this sound mad? As in, asking too much of both DD and my ILs? I'd like a second opinion before mentioning it to my MIL as I think she may feel obliged to say yes. And, TBH, haven't fully made up my mind about it either.
TIA!
