A mother-in-law has caused a family feud after booking a week-long vacation for her dying toddler granddaughter without permission. The toddler has been in hospice care for the past few weeks after her cancer returned, and doctors have recommended making her as comfortable as possible. The mother-in-law’s decision to plan a trip without consulting the parents has led to a heated argument, with the mother-in-law calling the mother a few names and hanging up on her. The mother-in-law then called the husband and suggested she would fight for rights before the toddler dies. The mother is already grieving and wants to spend as much time with her daughter as possible, making the mother-in-law’s actions even more hurtful. The situation has caused the mother to distance herself from the family and has led her to seriously doubt continuing in her marriage. Read on to find out more about this heartbreaking story.

Mother-in-law wants to take dying toddler on vacation without permission
A heartbroken mother is seeking advice after her mother-in-law booked a trip for her dying toddler without permission. The toddler is currently in hospice care after her cancer returned and is now crushing her optic nerve. The mother has been making tons of memories with her daughter for the past few weeks, but her mother-in-law called her yesterday to tell her she booked tickets for a trip next month, taking the toddler with her alone. The mother is not comfortable with her toddler being across the country for a week without her parents, especially since her daughter is in hospice. She suggested that they all go for a shorter amount of time, but her suggestions were all turned down. The mother-in-law even threatened to fight for rights before the daughter dies. The mother is already grieving and wants to spend time with her daughter before cancer takes her, but her husband suggests they acquiesce to his mother’s trip to avoid drama. This situation has been an eye-opening experience for the mother, and she is set on distancing herself from her mother-in-law as much as possible. Read on for the comments and reactions to this heartbreaking story.
