Help! My Kids Are Bored at Grandma’s House

Hey everyone,

I really need some advice. So, here’s the deal: my kids, Robert and Grace, are super used to spending time with my mother-in-law, Ruby. They absolutely love it there because Ruby is always doing fun stuff with them. But when we go to my mom’s place, they get bored out of their minds. My mom, Natalie, isn’t really into looking after the grandkids and doesn’t put much effort into entertaining them.

It’s gotten to the point where Robert and Grace actually prefer going to Ruby’s house over Natalie’s. I feel bad because I want them to have a good relationship with both grandmas, but I also don’t want them to be miserable when we visit my mom.

Has anyone else dealt with something like this? How can I make visits to Natalie’s house more enjoyable for the kids? Should I talk to my mom about it, or is there a way to keep the kids entertained without putting too much pressure on her? Any tips or ideas would be super helpful!

Thanks a ton,

Brandon
