Hi, I'm in Wisconsin and had a question about vacations.
My ex and I had recently discussed his mother taking our 4 year old daughter out of state for a week without him. I thought this was a bad idea because she would be more than 8 hours away without a parent and his mother would be visiting his sister and her new baby. We agreed on a long weekend with his mother who only lives an hour away instead.
Now, I've informed him of the dates I want Ella for vacation and he's upset over them. He's now insisting that he take his week of vacation between Christmas and New Year and that our daughter go with his mother to Michigan without him during that week.
Our daughter is newly diagnosed with asthma and is fairly clingy for a 4 year old. She's always been a mama's girl and I'm worried about her being so far away for so long. His mother is excellent with Ella but the idea of her being more than 8 hours away without a parent seems too extreme for me.
