[quote=Anonymous]How old are they? I think your parents are pretty typical. I have read sooooo many threads on DCUM about clueless parents, even those who want to "help." My mom is this way. Asks all the time why we don't let her come visit and "help." Well, helping for her is ooohing and aaahing over the grandkid and sitting on her ass while I wait on her. Same deal at my sister's house. They've forgotten how much work kids are, are in a strange place and not as adaptable as they once were. In our case, I am no longer tempted by offers of "help." Visits are short and not when we are very busy. You will likely not get them to change so adjust the length and expectations of the visits.[/quote]
