Sharing vacation time

July 27, 2017

My son is planning to stay with my birth mom for Spring Break about eight hours from where I live. My birth father passed away, but his mom and brother live in that same area. I'm thinking of asking my mom to let him stay with my dad's family for a day. I feel that might be inconsiderate though. What do you usually do for sharing the kids for holidays?
