[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe the question should be why do parents think chess lessons and birthday parties with kids they won’t even remember in 10 years are more important than grandparents? So many people on this board treat ANY ask like it’s an intrusion. Sorry grandma hasn’t seen Johnny in three months and doesn’t enjoy taking a backseat to free swim at the Y night. [/quote] Agree with this to a certain extent. People here act like they're arranging an audience with the Pope when family members want to see the kids. It has to be between these hours ONLY and ONLY do this and ONLY eat that and NO TV OR MOVIES and OMG the kids got dirty and played on a swing set without 14 feet of padding under it, on and on. I'm super close to my nieces and nephews because my brother and SIL fostered that by letting me enjoy them without crazy rules and paranoia about every last thing.[/quote]
