[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am guessing it’s stressful because the kids want more of a connection with their grandparents but the short time is making it difficult for that to happen - young kids get their feelings hurt or get sad and it can be stressful as a parent to have your kids go through that when it seems like steps can be taken to mitigate. OP, is this what you meant by stressful? [/quote] YES. Exactly this!!!!! I have explained to my kids time and again that their grandparents only visit for a few hours, they get tired easily and don’t like being outside, so this is what it is. I’m the one who deals with the tears. Plus it messes up my Sunday. [/quote] Do your kids not transition well in general? Maybe that's the real issue here. I don't really get how it "messes up" your Sunday. Spending time with family is a normal thing to do on Sundays. If it's not a good date, tell them no.[/quote]
