[quote=Anonymous]Without causing resentment? During the summer, my parents get spoiled by more free access to their only grandchild, our son. They usually take him once a month for a weekend in the summer months. We are blessed and it’s wonderful for DS. However, it’s no feasible during the school year, as we found out last year. We were allowing it intermittently, but we paid for it in tiredness for days afterwards, and I’ve decided to put a stop to it this year. Summer and long school breaks only. Problem is, I haven’t figured out a way to present it to my parents, because I know they will be upset and take it personally, or feel like we are keeping him from them. Of course, we will and have been planning regular visits. But how would you approach the sleepovers? DH isn’t on the same page because he appreciates what is essentially the free babysitting, but he’s not the one to get up with DS on Monday when he has been having crazy fun long days Friday and Saturday and no really good night sleep all weekend.
