7 - Still Talking About... Grandparent Entitlement

Some grandparents think that when they say "I want to see the kids", it means you should immediately pack everyone up, drive across town, clear your schedule, and magically make it happen.

This week, Janelle answers a follower question about dealing with grandparents who feel entitled to time with their grandkids, and who expect visits to happen on their turf… at their convenience… on one of your only two days off.

The reality of modern parenting is that most families have two parents who both work outside the home, endless chores, weekend sports, grocery runs, meal prep, and whole host of other things to get done on the weekends. Not to mention the basic human desire to literally just breathe for five minutes.

Expecting your adult children to somehow squeeze a 4 hour visit at their house every Sunday is actually super out of touch.

SO, how can you shift the responsibility back where it belongs? And, how can you communicate with your parents or in-laws that if they truly want a meaningful relationship with your kids, they need to fit themselves into YOUR routine, not the other way around.

If you've ever been made to feel guilty for not spending your precious weekend sitting on someone else's couch, this one's for you.
