[quote=Anonymous]My parents live locally and are really wonderful, loving, involved grandparents. For example, they take the kids every Saturday morning. Most if the time, I love the free time, but sometimes I'm sad that I'm missing good family time (if on occasion there is something special planned, kids don't go over there and no one's feelings are hurt). I work part time and have paid child care to cover my regular hours, but the gparents are great at filling in if I need to work outside my regular hours. They're now talking about the idea of "grandparent camp," where the kids would spend entire weekdays with them. It works out to be about 3/4 of the days that the kids don't have camp/school and I don't have work. I don't want to give up that much time. Saying that will hurt their feelings, and I do appreciate all the things they do for us. Am I being a bitch (and, yes, I do realize this is a very good problem to have)[/quote]
