My DD is a wonderful Mum.
A friend of hers has persuaded her to go away on holiday to the Mediterranean and leave her baby and 4 year old behind with hubby.
The baby will only be a year old and her toddler 4..
The woman she is going with has older children and all of her life has shown herself to be a troublemaker who was often tried to come between me and my DD. Although DD can't see it, I know that this woman and her family are very jealous of my DD. and I think she is trying to cause a rift between her and her husband.
I think it's way too young to leave a baby. At one year old the Mother baby bond is very strong and I think it will be very distressing for him. (baby)
I've suggested that maybe she could go overnight or a weekend first to see how things go, but she gets angry with me.
I hate to nterfere (and normally dont) but really feel sorry for the children, And actually also for her DH who I fear will not cope with having 2 children all week on his own. He has an extremely demanding and stressful job, long hours.
She doesn't live close (70 min drive) so it's not an option for me to just pop over there every now and then to see how he's getting on after work.
Am I wrong? The friend has 5 children ranging from 5 to 19. Their granny also lives with them - so if she leaves her 5 year old they have lots of support. My DD doesnt.
Thoughts?
