[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I would switch to only having the related parent go on these visits and then maybe extend to include both the weekend before and after (so a total of 9 days). That would mean you each spend 5 vacation days visiting your own parents with the kids. Then again each related parent can take off up to 5 days for when their own parents visit. Then you have the 5 days for the holidays and 5 days to use with just your own nuclear family.

Not op but that makes it harder. Everything is harder at grandparents house. Kids don’t sleep at all, don’t nap, are grumpy and grandparents do the opposite of help. I can’t imagine either of us visiting parents without the other. I could do a regular vacation without Dh but not grandparents. [/quote]

This is why zero is the only answer. You’re already in crazy territory.

And you know what? It’s NEVER going to be enough. You’re devoting every vacation day to grandparents and they’re complaining. The time to reset expectations is when your first (or second) child is born. You’re late to the game already. What you’re doing is unsustainable and complete insanity. You can start with reasonable anytime.
