[quote=Anonymous]My parents take our kids 1-2 weeks every summer. We live 1000 miles away. They ask for more time (they'd like a full month), but we worry about the tiring out. The kids are 7 and 5 now, and they've been doing it since they were 4.5 and 2.5. Things that made it easier: -My kids both sleep 10-11 hours/night, and the younger one still takes a 1-2 hour nap. -I only left the kids once the youngest was potty trained. -The older one reads a lot to herself, so she can self entertain, and also reads to the younger sibling. -we don't control TV/junk food at the grandparents' house. its their house. -my brother/SIL (childless) live nearby, and come for the full weekend, and give my parents a break.
