The article discusses the author’s frustrations with the expectations placed on parents regarding grandparent visitation. While expressing a desire for the children to have strong relationships with their grandparents, the author battles the stress of balancing time spent with both sides of the family. Influenced by a viral social media post, the author reflects on the exhausting 'time ledger' that many parents feel obligated to maintain, highlighting the emotional toll it takes when faced with passive-aggressive comments and an unwritten 'fairness' score card among family members.
I do want my parents and in-laws to have a great relationship with my kids, and I am committed to making sure we see each side of the family multiple times a year.
