[quote=Anonymous]OP you're going to get a rang of responses. It can be a really nice thing and a boon to the grandkids, help to the parents, and nice for the grandparents. Or it can all be a stressful obligation and yours really reads like the latter. You keep saying things like "they get upset" (of a vacation intrudes) or "they feel slighted" (if you skip out) but - what does that really mean and so what? Part of navigating some of this is just recognizing you're not always going to please everyone but being civil enough to maintain relationships and facilitate the kid relationships. I agree other kinds of activities may feel like less of an obligation than what you have currently and the kids' preferences factor in at some point too.[/quote]
