We pay her $100 a night...so it helps if we can get a few nights free to balance out a 4 or 5 night trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-kids-when-you-travel-away-from-them#post-2501060 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 17:48:04 +0000 Alba4 2501060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My in laws or my parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-kids-when-you-travel-away-from-them#post-2501018 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 15:58:53 +0000 Astro Bee 2501018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are thinking of flying my parents in in a couple of months so that we can go away for a week together. My inlaws only live 2 hours away, but they are not ideal caretakers for several reasons. We don't even leave LO with them to run to the store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-kids-when-you-travel-away-from-them#post-2501012 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 15:32:42 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2501012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents or my in-laws. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-kids-when-you-travel-away-from-them#post-2499457 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 10:57:17 +0000 Periwinkle 2499457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm embarrassed to say that we have never been away from LO for more than a night at a time together :( On those two occasions, my in-laws watched our son. I'm not sure what we would do if we went away for a week as our parents all still work for the time being and do not live locally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-kids-when-you-travel-away-from-them#post-2499429 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 10:46:39 +0000 looch 2499429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only option is my parents but they have my son a lot during the week so my husband feels enormous guilt in asking them on top of that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-kids-when-you-travel-away-from-them#post-2499418 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 10:40:18 +0000 psw27 2499418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents or my MIL. Thankfully they love doing it the few times a year we ask! They all live across the country so it is extra special for them to spend lots of QT with LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-kids-when-you-travel-away-from-them#post-2499408 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 10:36:22 +0000 cat620 2499408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My in-laws have watched them the couple times we went away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-kids-when-you-travel-away-from-them#post-2499352 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 10:01:16 +0000 catomd00 2499352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She goes to my Inlaws! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-kids-when-you-travel-away-from-them#post-2499323 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 09:45:15 +0000 lamariniere 2499323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far only my ILs have watched them when we've gone away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-kids-when-you-travel-away-from-them#post-2499318 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 09:42:19 +0000 sandy 2499318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents or my inlaws </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-kids-when-you-travel-away-from-them#post-2499304 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 09:32:20 +0000 mrsjyw 2499304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-kids-when-you-travel-away-from-them#post-2499302 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 09:30:15 +0000 Bao 2499302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you and your SO travel, and don't take the kids, who watches them? </p> <p>We are thinking of getting away at the end of this year and if we did go anywhere we would have my parents watch them. My mom works from home very part time so it works out. There really isn't a lot of people I trust besides my sister but she works FT so for her to watch them for a week or so is impossible. </p>
