[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do your kids even want to spend that much time at Grandma's?[/quote]
Op: No, I don't think they be happy to miss camp, and I know they wouldn't want to miss their extracurricular activities. Play dates trump everything always lol. This is why we plan weekends and dinners. The kids like going to see their grandparents, but they never specifically request it. [/quote]

Yeah, what kid ever does?????????? A lot of kids don't appreciate their grandparents until they're older. I certainly didn't...grandma's was pretty boring! But you build their relationship starting NOW. Regardless of what a freaking KID wants. You do what's best for them. Do you prefer they give up precious time with a blood relative to go fart around at some dance camp? COME ON. Give me a break! I'm sure your kid would choose to eat pizza and cheetos for dinner every night but they don't get to, because 1) it's not the best thing for them and 2) they're kids and kids don't put a lot of thought into the long term consequences of their choices. Seriously. You people are unbelievable with the "well MY kid doesn't WANT to" and "my precious snowflake just CANNOT be bored!" So selfish, it's sickening![/quote]

You're being ridiculous.  It sounds like kids see their grandparents every couple of weeks.  Op is already doing the work to actively build/maintain the relationship.  She's just not keeping them home so grandma can see them on a whim.  Stop yelling about things that aren't true.
