[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I send my kid to three different relatives on weekends. It's so nice. I don't see anything bad coming from it.
I spend my childhood summers at grandparents. Best time.
Are you and your DH both controlling? Why wouldn't you want to spend time just the two of you?[/quote]

DP: Here's the thing, though. Not everyone wants to send their kids away for the weekend, at least not often. And if the kids are in sports, like swimming, most weekends are meets, and most parents have to/want to work the meets or watch the kids compete. Some people want to be with their kids all summer and look forward to that. Creating the expectation that now you have to send your kid away, interrupt their sports, miss out on time with them because someone else needs your kids to fill an empty spot in their life, well, that can be stressful and cause resentment. And to be told there is something wrong with you, or that you are controlling, because you want to be with your own kids is just rude.[/quote]
