When you have family members (or close friends who are practically family) come to visit, are they helpful with your kids? We have just had a string of experiences with family for the last few weeks and I am wondering what is the norm. The level of "help" we receive is so different than what I think I would do if the roles were reversed, but I am wondering if thats because as a non-parent you just dont see the needs the way a parent would.

Curious about other experiences!
