Staying with grandchildren and their parents offers the opportunity to share in their daily lives in a unique way. You’ll gain insights not available to drop-in grandparents. You may, however, enhance your chances of family conflict. Much depends upon the kind of house guest you choose to be. Follow these 10 tips, and your adult children will still love you when you head for home. Be sure to get input about the length of your visit, too. It might be best to schedule a short visit first. If all goes well, try for a longer stay next time. If you plan to combine your visit with something else, such as a business event or a visit to a friend or relative, share your schedule ahead of time and do not treat your hosts’ home like a hotel.
