[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both sets of parents live locally but my MIL has memory issues so my kids never spend the night there (or anytime alone with her). My parents take the kids maybe two or three Saturday nights a week and bring them back Sunday early afternoon.  It’s great! [/quote]
Don’t you miss weekend mornings with your family?

I think the answer to this question depends on how you value your time with your kids. I wouldn’t give up those snuggly, lazy Sunday’s for anything. [/quote]

So snarky.[/quote]
Well, it’s true. They are giving up 3-4 Sundays. That’s a lot. I value that time, PP must not. What am I missing?[/quote]

You could have said it without "value your time with your kids" - maybe she values the time with them plenty and uses the sunday mornings for errands and chores so the rest of the time is higher quality? maybe she has a terminal illness and values the stability that grandparents can bring... you have no idea, so you could have just left that sentence out.[/quote]

If you were a stay at home mom you wouldn't feel so guilty and compelled to "value your time with your kids."[/quote]
