DW and I have been to WDW twice with DD and DGD ( now 6 ) fantastic time had by all.
DD now has a fall trip planned with herself, Husband, DS ( now 3 ) and DD.
This is their 1st trip together to WDW.
We are getting connected rooms at Pop. DW and I have been to Disney many times and would serve as an occasional babysitter, these are our first Grandkids and we sit for them often and mesh well as a group.
DD's MIL just called her to say she wants to join us and bring another 5 yr old grand daughter, MIL feels bad because this little girl doesn't get to go... While I feel for anyone who can't go to Disney, adding this little girl to the mix is a real game changer... MIL has no idea whats involved in a Disney vacation, she's about 70 so I think the reality is the little girl would end up tagging along with my grandkids all the time... This little girl (5) adores my DGD (6) but is mean to my DGS ( 3 ) ( according to my DD anyway ).
If DD wanted to invite this kid, that would be one thing.
Or if the Childs parents wanted to bring her, I'm sure we would have some fun times together.
( parent live in MIL basement due to poor life choices. no way they can afford to go )
this arrangement is going to be tough as my DD will have to supervise this kid most of the time.
Are we wrong for anticipating problems with this arrangement?
DD says she won't go under these arrangements. ( there also the "usual" DD vs MIL issues )
