[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I'm sorry I asked lol Grandma isn't happy because after camp "isn't enough time" for her to plan something fun. And "they'd be tired". Basically, yes. She's whining.

Kids aren't overscheduled, they just like camp (thankfully, because they are going!) and they like their chosen activities. When they come home from camp, they love making calls and finding out who is playing where. It's summer! They are out having fun! (They are both old enough to get on bikes and cruise the neighborhood like we did when we were young.) And like I said, I DO make ample time for grandparents, I think. I believe a weekend a month and a couple days sprinkled in between us plenty fair. [/quote]

Grandma sounds like a pill. I think it's time you ignore her. If pressed, you point out that summer vacation is about the kids, not about her.[/quote]

So have her have the kids all week, and do the morning dropoff to camp, and the afternoon pickup after camp, and have them spend the night with her. Easier for you, more grandma time, kids still go to camp, everyone is happy. Done. [/quote]
