    Took me awhile to figure out that they stepped outside and then jumped in the car and drove away, leaving the kids with the elders. That can only work once.

    Really, Joe and Marcy. Show some respect. Have the decency to call ahead. Honestly. And it would NOT be out of line for you to buy them a meal every so often for all the work involved! Order a pizza. Something!

    My parents raised five of their grandkids from my siblings, and two of their great-grandkids.

    I mainly was raised by my parents. My grandparents just dropped by often.

    My grandfather would drop by unexpectedly, to “steal” me away from my parents!

    Nice try guys, but your “intervention” plan had one little flaw in it!

    technically that’s child abandonment, even if they’re your own parents you can’t just foist your children on someone without their consent and walk away

    Yet, my wife and I travel 3-4 hours to get a chance to babysit our grandchildren and great-granddaughter.

    So they left their kids with the grandparents again? Why would they have to step outside to think about it? The grandparents were not asking them anything, they were telling them something. There is nothing to think about and no reason to step outside.

    Does Joe have any siblings? Marcy is an only child and Joe seems to be one too. So both parents raised one child. That is much easier than raising 12 kids like Clayton and his wife did.

    Hmm, maybe Marcy and Joe could just drop the kids off with one of her big brothers for a change… like Marcus and Nicole, lol

    Until I was 5 and we moved – we live on one street, my maternal grandparents lived on next street – other side of “the avenue”, and my maternal great aunt and uncle lived on next street, back on our side of “the avenue” and my school was on their corner.

    My maternal uncle (only pibling on that side of the family) was a bachelor and lived with his parents. That makes 5 grownups just for me all within 2 blocks!! My other grandparents lived further away – near my cousins, but they were much more fun than my maternal ones.

    Then my middle sister came along and we moved away – down to one set of parents and had to share them with sister. (Other sister came along 7 years after and by then I was I was the extra “almost an adult” in the family.)

    Husband was in similar circumstances – lived with parents in paternal grandparents’ 2 family house and his unmarried aunt lived there two. His other grandparents lived up the street. Again, until the move to suburbia.

    It’s very funny, but the grandparents do have a point.On the other hand, I can remember when the Cobbs first moved into the brownstone, Frank and Dot were at the house constantly, and were completely oblivious to hints that the young couple would like some privacy.
