Birth of daughter's first baby

Sorry I don't know what happened apart from a 'senior moment', I meant No I wouldn't go away I would want to be around for the event...

Sorry for multiple threads. Don't know what I pressed! I realised what I'd done straight away and immediately asked Gransnet to delete all but one, but too late it seems. Sorry about that and thank you all for your very helpful replies. Now I'm going to have to try not to make the same mistake again as I post this!

Nope!

No I wouldn't I'd like to be around for the event.

No no no!
We were in same position but had already booked. DH blithely expected us to keep to holiday plans. Not a chance. I got phoning and holiday rescheduled no bother at all. There's plenty of other times for a holiday but first GC is once in a lifetime (so are subsequent GCs of course!)

Flip me! No!

I read your name as 'multi'. Would have been appropriate.

9 threads!

There are now several threads.
And I have seen this question before.

But no.

Definitely not if nothing is booked yet.
Why does your DH want to go at that time?

No - daughter's waters broke at 31 weeks and was being monitored in hospital. They said not in labour so her parents-in-law went on their paid holiday and baby arrived day after. They were disappointed not to be there but all of us so grateful baby small but healthy. Felt sorry for SIL as you want your parents around when things are a bit hairy! All ended well however and baby now going through terrible twos!
I think as a Mum I would want to be around especially if not booked yet.

Not personally.
It may depend on how far and for how long, but I would hope not to be too far away for 2 weeks either side of her due date - or prepared to fly home.

Personally, no, I'd want to be at hand in case my daughter needed me, and on the spot for that first cuddle!
