[quote=Anonymous]My brother lives close to our parents and his in laws, and he and his wife had kids young and had very involved active grandparents around for years. My youngest nephew is 14 and spent the weekend with my 80 year old parents recently while the rest of the family was away doing different things. My husband and I had kids when we were older and our parents were older. We had an occasional overnight when visiting my parents or his. After the kids go to bed we go out to a late dinner, stay in a hotel, come back before lunch. That was with kids who were 3 and 6. Parents in their late 70s. No diapers and relatively independent. No way would that have flown with a toddler. Sure, I’m jealous of my bother sometimes. But on the other hand he’s local for all the help they need, and it’s a lot. [/quote]
