My sister and I know this "grandparents detox" with our kids. Growing up we didn't have a lot of money. My parents are in a much different place now financially. When the grand kids get to visit at Nana and Tata's they have their own jolly jumper in the backyard, a motorized jeep to ride around on the ranch, hot wheels motorized tracks, cows, chickens and cupboards filled with foods like Fruit Loops and Mac and Cheese. They have a blast and then for weeks after we have to deal with our kids begging to go to Nana and Tata's house. Despite the begging I love the fact that Nana and Tata's house is such a magical and wonderful place for my daughter. I see the joy my parents get from spoiling their grandchildren with toys, food and most of all love and attention. Great post! My sister and I know this “grandparents detox” with our kids.

When we are with my parents, what I often here is: "Pobrecita.'' Or, poor thing. Because I am constantly monitoring the amount of stuff my kid gets from them. Of course, I am wrong and I just need to let them spoil the crapola out of her...You're lucky to have your parents close. Oh dear, Lizzie…I love this so.
