Any one else have this issue? Any advice is appreciated!
OK, I am not sure if I’m the only one with this issue but every time my child spends time with their grandparents on my side so my parents once we get back home it’s like my son has no home training at all and then that whole evening I’m struggling to kind of get him back into his way of doing things that we normally don’t have issues with and I think part of it is because my grandparents let them do whatever he wants and you know at my house he kind of knows like we have a routine and stuff like that

@Nichole He’s not with them that long. I would say maybe two hours max and It’s like every two weeks and I have tried to tell my parents do not let him do whatever he wants because when we go back home, we have issues going back to the structure and routine at our house
I have a 3.5 y/o and the same thing happens with her. It always takes me a day or two to get her back on track. You can try making your boundaries for strict. For us we just limit the amount of time she goes over there because she is a spoiled brat when she comes home. Our 1 y/o doesn't leave for long periods of time so luckily I don't have that issue with her yet

How long is he with them at a time? I want to say it's pretty common. I've seen it more in kids that have divorced parents. I see it in my stepson when he gets home from his mom and my brothers did as kids going back and forth as well. Kids have a harder time transitioning when it comes to change of rules or even fun vs structured.
