[quote=Anonymous]Grandparents get to decide how much time they spend with their grandchildren until it hits the "too much" line for the child's parents and the parents get to draw that line. You can't get them to do more than they want. BTDT. It took me a long time to figure that out. My parents and my in-laws chose to be vacation and holiday grandparents rather than more hands on. They were not really interested in developing a relationship. It was somewhat of a bait and switch based on indications before we had children. For my in-laws it was because they were burnt out (our eldest was their 10th) and then medical issues impacted it. For my parents, our eldest was the first, but they still chose the V&H route. I would suggest to find replacements and if you are lucky you will. [/quote]
