EP – 139 Getting Aligned on Family Care

Our conversation with DeeDee More

This week’s conversation centers on Family Care and how parents and grandparents can get alignment on who is responsible for what and how parents want their children cared for while in the care of the grandparents. DeeDee More, from More Than Grand, joins the conversation to discuss the importance of clearly understanding how parents would like to have their children taken care of.

DeeDee also talks about how having the grandparents set expectations on what they can and can’t do when caring for the grandchildren is important. We discussed the importance of having parents and grandparents write a caregiver agreement to avoid misunderstandings and have difficult conversations before a situation could cause conflict and strain a relationship.

Throughout our fun conversation, we review some of the other available tools and products at More Than Grand. A link to our first conversation, which provides more background on DeeDee and why she started More Than Grand, is located in the show notes below.
