[quote=Anonymous]We took our two young kids to visit their grandparents for a week. For various reasons, I was under the impression that my in-laws were prepared for us and wanted to do stuff with the kids. The reality was that they had done very little baby-proofing and tired of the children quickly. The trip was exhausting for me because I was doing all the childcare I normally do, but in someone else’s house without the kid resources I normally have available. And yeah, my husband helped, but I think it was different for him because it was his family and his childhood home. Is this pretty much how it goes for everyone when doing these kinds of family trips? What strategies do you have to make these trips more tolerable? There’s talk of us going back around the holidays and I’m dreading it already.[/quote]
