I, too, just saw that she sees them most of the year, because they live up here 9 months at a time. Why exactly is it so crucial for her to see them down there? She had a sick kid, she'll see them when they get back up here.

I dont think you did anything wrong - you do live near them usually, and visit them, no?
The only reason people might take offense is that you visited ONE set but not the other set of grandparents. Had you visited nobody, your mother would probably have been fine with it. But that's the way it worked out.
Dont worry about it.

Why couldn't the grandparents drive themselves to see you?

First of all, my baby was sick during that one week, but not actually on the last day that we were planning on going to visit them.

Actually, no one cares that we went to visit the other grandparents. (At least we did them, otherwise, I would have NEVER heard the last of that. They're much more difficult pp.)

Hey, you were on vacation! Your job on vacation is not to visit people you can see all the time back home. Your job is to have fun. Especially if your kid was sick earlier in the week. Why not enjoy yourselves?

My husband and I wouldn't feel guilty about this for two minutes. We never visit anyone when we're on vacation, unless we really, really want to. We like to do our own thing.

Greenfire: Do you mean that in a negative way or positive way? If you mean it in a negative way, those grandparents were actually a five minute walk away. And knowing that grandmother, I would have never heard the end of not visiting her...

Whatever.

Thanks Clarissa for your support....

Nah. They don't keep up w/each other and have no idea what goes on with the other set.

When I was about a year and a half old, my parents took me to Arizona to visit my grandparents. I woke up my first morning there with fever and stayed sick for the entire week I was there. So I saw my grandparents because we stayed in their apartment but I didn't get to meet all my great aunts, uncles, and cousins who lived in the surrounding area. And these are people I never have the opportunity to see (as a matter of fact, I still haven't met most of them and many of them are dead now....) I'm sure people were disappointed but my parents did the right thing--what were they supposed to do? Take a baby with 102 fever all across the Arizona and the surrounding States to socialize??
