[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why you are fretting about kids having daycare. These were the best years for grandparents to visit during the week because they could keep the child home if they wanted or see them before/after daycare or pick them up a few hours early in the afternoon. It becomes exponentially harder when they are in compulsory school and weekday visits by long distance grandparents result in very little time with the children and your times to visit when you are as far away as stated are limited to winter and spring break and the summer. Now, you can pull your kid any old time you want and visit family and take vacations. Cramming that in when every other family with school age children is also doing the same thing is the pits.

YES - I just posted about this, too. My kids are in ES now and my in-laws just have to deal with the fact that the kids have to go to school and can't take time off anymore.

Last year, they convinced my older daughter to do a day virtual instead of in-person so they could spend time with her. I was LIVID.[/quote]

See, I don't get that.  I most certainly would NOT be "LIVID" about something like that.  Life is too short.  School is important but it isn't so important that every once in a while we can't take a day off from it.  DP.[/quote]
