[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't turn it down. You make your children go and have fun with their grandparents. [/quote]

But the whole point is the kids don't think the pool is fun.

So what??? When I was little, we went to my grandparents to visit because my parents said "hey kids, get in the car. We're going to visit your grandparents for the afternoon!" And there was NOTHING TO DO THERE but sit in their very small living room and stare at each other while the grown-ups visited. They did have one toy box with old toys from when my mom and uncle were little, but I mean like plastic toy horses, a spinning top, an old jack-in-the-box, and a few raggedy-and coloring books. We were 10 and 12 but we made due with what they had.

We would have gone WILD if they had only had a POOL! Man...we would have settled for them telling us to turn on the garden sprinkler at that point! But we did not say a thing because our parents made sure to explain that these visits were to make our grandparents HAPPY, not to "entertain" us!

Your kids are fortunate that there is at least something for them to do beyond stare at the four walls...and very spoiled that they don't appreciate that. [/quote]
