[quote=Anonymous]I never let my kids stay with their grandparents when they were little. Now that they know how to not die, I might. As on PP said the grandparents feed them junk and plop them in front of the TV. My parents are not local but they stay with us sometimes and I still had our nanny watch them if we need her outside our normal hours. When I visited my parents at their home once and they were watching my niece, they just blockaded her in the living room to keep her safe so they didn't have to keep a constant eye on her. She was crawling and getting into everything. It made me so nervous.

DHs parents feels like they've done their job raising kids and don't want to watch ours. It's fine they are so slow they basically have needed care themselves for 10 years, so it's never been a viable option.

Bottom line- you get what you pay for. Grandparent care is free and they do whatever they want, which drives me bananas. I'm surprised I made it to adulthood with only a few scars.  [/quote]
