[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you handle grandparents who want to visit after school? Our son doesn't get home from school until after 4pm, and we try to settle him down and get him to bed by 8pm at the very latest. From the second we get home, it's hectic with homework, dinner, lunch packing, bath time, etc (as I am sure you can all relate to!) Inlaws refuse to make time during the weekends, and although they live nearly 90 minutes away, they want to visit after school. Am I wrong to just say no? Make time during the weekends?[/quote] In what grade is your son? If you are still giving baths, then I would assume K-1. How much homeowrk can there be? Have Granny or Pops sit with him as he does his reading or have them read to him. Do not wait for them to offer. Say, 'since I am getting dinner ready, why don't you sit with Larlo while he reads.' Have DH do the lunch packing ( what 15 minutes tops????). I think you are over thinking this. [/quote]
