Teens spend time with extended family

Dear Parents,

On our recent vacation, our 18 and 14 year old children stayed home with my mother, their grandmother.  For my Mom, this was hardly a babysitting job, it was just a comfort to have an adult in the house while we were away.  Our children took on responsibilities of maintaining the house, and also took on some cooking for their grandmother. 

This was an enjoyable experience for all of them.  My mom said that she really enjoyed having that time with them, that she was able to spoil them a little more than usual because she had them all to herself, and that she really enjoyed that.  The kids also enjoyed being spoiled of course, and the experience certainly strengthened their bond and tie to the extended family. 

To Your Family,
