[quote=Anonymous]Let me preface by saying that I KNOW we should be grateful to have parents who take such an interest in their grandkids, and we are! But the days are long and the months short, and our weeks so busy, we love spending time together on weekends as a family! Maybe it sounds cliched, but we had our kids to enjoy them. We work all week, they are in school and extracurriculars, and we really love our family weekends, and we are enjoying them now especially, since our kids won't always love spending time with us all weekend.

My parents want them for overnights constantly. We aim for once a month, but we are guilt tripped weekly! "We aren't getting any younger" and the like. Well, we aren't either! And sadly, neither are they. We DO plan a get togethers, usually a dinner and visiting into the evening, twice a month. But I've got to tell you, we love our lazy weekend mornings as a family with the kids home. Are we being selfish? Are we so wrong to put our wants and needs with our own children above what others want? Are we terrible to limit grandparent sleepovers to just once a month?

Tell me how often your kids see their grandparents. I'm really torn here.[/quote]
