[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you must, Thursday nights.  And I'd do what other PPs have suggested - say we'd love to have you but here are the parameters (bring a pizza, we'll make salad) and I'd also skip bath that night, or he could take a bath the second he gets home from school.

Also, so that they don't have to deal with bad traffic, how about if they came over and visited for a few hours, right after school?  Or do that like the IDEA of visiting with their grandchild but not the actual DOING of it?  I mean, they want to pop in, have a nice dinner at a restaurant, then pop out again vs. spending time with him at home for 2 hours, then having a quick dinner before they drive home.  [/quote]
OP here again:

Your last sentence is exactly what they do. They want dinner, and then they sit on our couch and tell us about their golf friends, or other stuff pertinent to them, but there is no engaging our son, he runs around and they watch, but that's the extent of their visit. It's annoying, and my husband agrees, it just  doesn't work well during the week.

I appreciate all of your viewpoints! Thanks![/quote]

My dad is like that.  We try to meet him out to eat so its more time limited.[/quote]
