[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think back to visits with my own grandparents, on both sides, and they weren't out doing activities with us. They went about their days and we were all just sort of hanging out, except for when my parents would take the kids out to do something. This idea that grandparents should act as a cruise director wasn't really a thing when I was growing up. I was close to my grandparents.

OP - you shouldn't try and do anything about this. It's twice a year and not worth it. Like a PP mentioned, these visits are going to naturally lessen as your kids get older.[/quote]

Genuine question - can you explain to me how you were close to your grandparents if you didn't spend time with them? You said they went about their days while you visited. [/quote]

I did spend time with them. My grandmas made meals that we all shared. When I was younger I played outside and when I was older we sat around talking. We did the classic garden stuff, like prepping green beans for dinner. But trips outside of the house were just with my parents, never my grandparents. They didn't have anything to do with our activities outside of their house.[/quote]
