[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Growing up, my brother and I slept at our grandparent's apartment every Saturday night. Every. Saturday. Night. For years and years.
We loved it and I remember thinking that my parents must be lonely without us! It was the 70's and they were out, living it up at my uncle's restaurant. 
Some of my absolute best childhood memories...staying up late to watch the Carol Burnett Show, playing checkers with my grandpa (he never let me win, so when I did it was an accomplishment), eating whatever I wanted (as long as I ate my lamb chops, baked potato and green beans for dinner), visiting the elderly spinster sisters who lived in the apartment next door, marathon monopoly games with my brother. Great days, I loved it.[/quote]

+1 although the details were different.

My grandparents were a huge huge huge part of my life.  I can't imagine how many hundreds or thousands of nights I spent at their homes over the years starting when I was a toddler.

My DD just spent her first weekend at my parents' home this year at age 3.  She did okay the first night but then the second night was apparently tough.  And yes, they spoiled her way more than I would have liked.  I also think that was because it was such a big deal and that it would be much lower key if it happened more regularly.

I do think it's very dependent on the individuals involved - grandparent, parents and child.  There's no one size fits all answer to this question.[/quote]
