[quote=Anonymous]Neither set of grandparents can deal with my kids solo for very long. We'll let them babysit for dinners out and have a great time together when they visit, but they can't handle overnights anymore. My kids don't do anything that isn't age-appropriate and are generally very sweet and well-behaved, especially with grandparents. But, that 7 and 5 year old mischief? The grandparents have zero patience for that stuff anymore in their late 70s, and it just gets stressful for everyone. When the kids were toddlers, the grandparents could handle it better. And I think if the kids were older, it would be better. But we're in a bad spot right now where it just doesn't work. [/quote]
