[quote=Anonymous]OP, we have four kids, and when we used to visit when they were small, it was also overwhelming for my parents. *But* they loved having us visit. What finally worked for us is that we told them that we would visit, but that we wanted it to feel more like a vacation for them. We took care of all the menu planning, cooking and clean-up. It worked out really well. They got time with the grandkids, weren’t stressed about the extra work, and we would keep them out of the kitchen. If your mom isn’t spending much time in the kitchen, then she shouldn’t be bothered by the water bottles. Same with a basket by the kitchen door. Grandparents can absolutely both enjoy having small grandkids visit *and* feel overwhelmed. [/quote]
