[quote=Anonymous]First, I think it's fabulous that all four grandparents want to be involved in your childrens' lives.  That's huge and something that many people lack.  That being said, yep, I do think they are probably being a bit unreasonable in their expectations.

PPs have given a few ideas.  How old are the kids? Do they ever have an interest in spending the night at grandparents' house? Fun for them, free time for you.  Invite grandparents to soccer games or other activities that would let them see the kids and have some involvement in their lives, but it doesn't take up any more time on your side.  Schedule time with them the way you do plans with friends.

Friday nights.  Sunday afternoon/early evening dinner together after their commitment.  And, yes, have DH gently remind them that it is their schedule that is just as much an impediment as your schedule.  Obviously, don't do this if it's a mandatory chemotherapy appointment or something instead of morning church followed by bible study followed by fellowship social....[/quote]
