My mom works in schools so during the school year they dont get to spend the night as often. Maybe once every other month to spend the night. But we see her weekly during soccer season. Summer they go over much more often.
My kids see my MIL & FIL just about every weekend and my oldest typically stays on Friday or Saturday night every week. My youngest never does because she has the excuse my oldest is easier for her.
My mom usually comes to my house every Sunday, I rarely let my kids stay over there due to her drinking and her dog.
Monday - Friday because my parents watches my son while me and my fiancé work and every once in awhile on the weekends when me and my fiancé want to have date night
I don’t like sleepovers or long stays, they comeback different kids, crying and whining for no reason. I hate that. So as less as possible and only if i really need them to go.
They also have taught him all his curse words( before he was even 3) and laugh when he says them. They also act inappropriate in front of him. For example, smacking each other’s butts with sexual innuendos and farting on each other.
They go to my mom's (the only person we trust to watch them) maybe 2 days out of the month. But only for a couple hours and they usually don't spend all night. They only spend the night with her maybe 1-2 times a year if that. My youngest son has only stayed the night with her when I had my 2 month old.
My son goes and stays the night 2 days a week. I used to like it but now I feel his grandparents are overstepping their boundaries. They took him to see Santa for the first time without inviting or telling us. Also they took him to Chuck E. Cheese’s for his bday for the first time without asking or inviting us and come to find out we were having dinner right across the street while they were there. When we had been planning to take him the day before his bday. Now they want to take him on cruise out of the country without us( me and my husband have never been on cruise or outta country).i said no bc I feel that we should be there. My husband doesn’t agree with me when it comes to my sons grandparents. Maybe I’m being silly about it. But I also lost my mom when I was 14 so my sons first times mean a lot to me..
My daughter is 10 months and she goes to her grandmas twice a week she loooves it and loves going bye bye... idk about staying the night though we probably won’t start that for a few years honestly
Oh, and when my dad wasn't in jail, we would see him every day, he lived across the road. He would always ask if she could stay the night but I never let her. Lol I think it's healthy for them to see their grandparents, if it's a positive situation. With my in laws, it's a hit or miss. Sometimes we get along, sometimes we dont.
@lifewithlynnieandwill88, I don’t mind him going over there but I feel that him staying the night is too much. He’s had behavior issues and when I tell him to do something he says “ but at grandma and grandpas...”
@bittersweetmomlife yeah, they can let them get away with too much. I know my Granny would let lynnie do whatever she wanted when I'd go clean a clients house for a couple of hours. I don't like that mess, they let her eat ice cream and drink coke too.
