[QUOTE="J&D Cattle, post: 1319079, member: 18854"] Similar situation here Bigfoot. My mother is the lower elementary school secretary. Daughter is at that school and son rides the bus to that school every day. Mom then takes the kids home with her to her house. My Dad is usually always there as well. I don't get off work until 5 and my wife leaves around 4 so the kids are with them for 30-45 minutes every day. Our gripe is that they would let them snack and eat way to much junk. My wife does a very good job of helping us to eat healthy and it would pi$$ her off to no end to have my parents undo that. I've had a couple of pointed conversations and I think overall the situation is better but there are still times where they just baby the heck out of them and go overboard. Personally it's something that I still bring up every now and again but overall I am so grateful that they get to see my parents daily. My wife's parents are divorced with her mother living out of state and her father in a nursing home. I cherished the time I had with my grandparents and am very happy that both my kids and my parents are getting the same experience. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
