<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

Hey guys, so my wife and I are going to Florida for a week to visit family.  My dad and her mother both live down there so it will be a nice trip to visit the grandparents.  At the end of the trip my father asked if he can keep my son for 5-7 days, I said no problem, it would be nice to have a break.  My wife however is fighting me and coming up with all these reasons why he shouldn't.

A little background on my dad, he brought up 3 boys (including me) and we were NOT easy kids to deal with.  My son is a very strong willed 16-month-old and can throw a tantrum at almost anything and also does not sleep very well.  She's afraid my dad won't be able to handle this and also afraid that it is too long away from her (my kid is very attached to his mother.)   

She thinks this is far too long and also at the end of the trip, my dad plans on driving up to us in New Jersey (21 hour drive) to drop my son off and stay for a few weeks.  The drive is also a major concern of hers, but my dad will be with his girlfriend and they have both taken care of my son before.  

Am I being too relaxed about this?  Is my wife being too strict about this?  I think it will be good for my child to be away from mom for a bit since he is overly attached.  I also think my dad deserves time with his grandson who he adores.  Please any advice would be helpful!
<bot>: My dad wants to watch my son for 5-7 days in Florida and then drive 21 hours to drop him off home to us in NJ, wife is having issues with this, I am not.
