Holidays with grandparents

Look at our advice for an enjoyable holiday with grandparents


Posted: 30 August 2011

Forty per cent of parents apparently take their own parents on holiday with them. To keep all the generations happy, here are tips for a relaxed holiday:

- Don’t assume that grandparents are free babysitters – they may enjoy spending time with their grandchildren but they are on holiday, too.

- Accept that they might prefer a round of golf to sitting by the pool.

- Get a villa with two bathrooms, or reserve adjoining apartments. That way everybody has some space. 

- Take it as a compliment if they dote on your children and ignore you.
