[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So curious about why people are talking about not getting babysitting, even now they are talking about whether their grown kids were babysat when they were younger. Why is that part of a questions about how often visiting happens? Is it an unconscious transactional arrangement such that they go together in people’s heads?[/quote] It not transactional for us. It's that when they spend time on their own with the kids, they build their own relationship and the kids want to spend time with them so it's not hard to choose to go see grandparents over another activity. even my older in-laws who never really got on the ground with my kids as babies and played, read them books, showed them toys they had left over from DH. Now kids are ES and it's easier as they all play cards and dominoes together and bake etc. it's about having an unforced pleasant time and making a good memory for everyone. [/quote]
