With several children in a family, parents can be pulled in many directions. Out of town tournaments, dance competitions, school trips requiring a parent can be very taxing on a family. The parent remaining at home to hold the fort can be stretched even further with all the demands. As a grandparent, trying to help with some of it can be helpful and rewarding. Knowing that any assistance is appreciated makes it worthwhile. Of course, all the social events and birthday parties and school activities just make it more demanding. Car pools are okay but often with children of different ages it is not always easy for the parents to cope. Knowing when to cut back and when to allow all the events takes skilled scheduling. No wonder parents often feel very exhausted with their duties.
