Do any of you wake up every morning, thanking your lucky stars and knowing that when times are tough mom and dad will take care of your kids in the best possible way?
Doesn't seem like that, but my wife's son and his wife are pretty darn close. We love doing it, and the kids are happy in both homes.
Last night, her son sent us a text, "Thanks a million", a nice gift from a great kid.
Absolutely. I don't know what I would be without my parents. They are really amazing people and I am thankful every day that they are there for me and my kids.
My parents are really great with my kids and my kids adore them. They are actually going to stay with my parents for a week during summer break. Both my parents and my kids are really looking forward to this! My parents are better with my kids than they were with me!

I was a single mom. My parents were a HUGE help. Mom would still give her left arm, and more, for my son. Dad would too, if he was still alive.
My parents are amazing with our son, they have helped us out sooo much since his birth, until we moved away. Especially my dad, it's like he's regained his youth again, also after growing up without a father and having two daughters, he finally has a grandson to do boy things with! I love watching them interact, DS adores grandpa too.
My MIL tries really hard to be helpful and she'll do anything for us, however she's not nearly as good at interacting with kids and mainly expresses her love through constant gifts, food, and fussing, rather than straightforward play and just having fun. She also seems nervous about being one on one with him so it's always my parents who end up babysitting and watching DS to let us have a night off or whatever, she never offers, which annoys me a bit.
This is heart-warming, the way it should be to my mind.
