[quote=Anonymous]Do you WOH, OP? I ask because on one hand, I think grandparent relationships are really important and, unlike parent relationships, take effort to cultivate. On the other hand, I WOH and value the time I have at home with my kids. IMO, I think one night a month at the grandparents is the right balance. It's often enough that the grandparent's house becomes a familiar environment and the kids and grandparents can develop their own rhythms and routines, but it's not so often that you are losing a meaningful amount of your family time. Now, if you don't LIKE your inlaws or disagree with their child rearing methods or think there are other boundary issues at play here, then do whatever works best for you. But purely from a grandparent-grandchild relationship perspective, I say cultivate it now while everyone is still healthy, able, and willing. [/quote]
