IMO I think we are all here, ultimately, to support eachother without judgement. I think Alicia sounds like a very caring and loving mommy, and so does Heather. Everyone has their own opinion and ways of mothering and that's whats so awesome about YT. We are all different but in good ways. What works for one person, may not work for another. I probably would have gone on the trip as well, because although her baby is sick (but thankfully recouping), by not going on the trip she would have sent the wrong message to the new in laws. They are not as forgiving, I'm sure, as sweet little Joey. Now if he didn't get the proper care he needed that would be a different story. But he did, and the lovely couple got their stress free time, and all is good. I love everyone's differences here because they always teach me a lot and help me make decisions. |
