“Can we stop shaming parents for having a break from their kids while they spend quality time with their grandparents?
I don’t know when it became so un-normalized for children to have a good, close relationship with their grandparents.
They often say, ‘I could never let my kids be watched by someone else weekly!’
They are not ‘being watched.’ They are spending important time with their grandma and papa.
It takes a village to raise children, and I am forever grateful for mine.
My parents look forward to having my children once a week and plan out so many exciting activities to do with them.
My children also can’t wait for the day that they know they get to spend the whole time with their grandparents, and constantly ask when they get to go see papa and grandma again.
