Grandparents may love to visit their grandkids, but when it comes to overnight stays, they’d rather sleep somewhere else.
According to a survey by Candlewood Suites, a nationwide hotel chain, more than two-thirds of grandparents said they would rather stay in a hotel than with their grandkids. Most said they would prefer a hotel because they want more privacy; 31 percent said there isn’t enough space at their grandkids’ house.
Other highlights from the survey:
– 27 percent of grandparents said they have stayed at their grandkids’ house just because they would feel guilty staying at a hotel.
– 41 percent said their ideal visit is just for a weekend.
– A few people said they’d “rather parachute out of an airplane” than stay with their grandkids.
