[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once a week is too much. Offer twice a month. And I'd stay there, if there's somewhere you can hang out and read/knit/listen to a podcast, etc., at their house. Not being best buds with them doesn't mean you can't stay there. Just be up front. "While you guys play with the kids, I'm just going to catch up on my emails/read this book/etc. Thanks!" You get a mini-break, and don't spend two hours in the car. And when they pressure you, just say, "Sorry, that doesn't work for me." Repeat ad nauseam. [/quote] The problem with op staying there is likely the kids will want to hang out with her and not the grandparents. Op, you do it once a month. Your DH can take them once a month also, on the weekend. Twice a month is way more than most grandparents are seeing their grandparents during the pandemic. They should be grateful.[/quote]
