[quote=Anonymous]My parents come and stay with the kids, but like yours their health has declined, so we just do 2 or 3 nights and we try to schedule it at least partially during the week when the kids have school. We also make sure to line up carpools and play dates and if necessary, a babysitter break (although my parents claim not to need it so this is harder) to make it as effortless as possible for my parents, physically and mentally. I prep meals or leave takeout menus, make sure to leave out everything the kids will need for all activities, etc., and do laundry before I go so my parents really just have to keep the kids safe and fed. It's a lot of work but totally worth it. [/quote]
