[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be in a panic if my inlaws or my parents moved to my neighborhood because of boundaries. Here’s how I’d handle it.  They would both want to be involved with the kids and honestly, I could use help. Instead of all of us doing everything together I’d ask them to take them to some practices and games and I wouldn’t go to those. They would love some alone time with the kids and probably take them out before or afterwards. My kids are at the point where they each are out 3-4 evenings per week between practices and games.  They could help with carpooling. [/quote]

Unless they are living with you, you have no expectation of any kind of help from them and they owe you nothing.  If you need help, hire someone.[/quote]

You are quoting me and I’m not OP. We do hire people and don’t have local family. Im just offering how I’d handle it because I know my parent and my ILs and they would love to do this. They would be coming to spend time with the grandkids and want to see them. This is a way they could and I wouldn’t have to have them over ever minute.  Just one possible idea. Obviously not for everyone. [/quote]
