Ways to keep parents/In laws visiting you in US busy

Most of the Parents/ In Laws who visit us here tend to get bored after sometime. They come here with lots of enthusiasm to meet their kids and grand kids. But after a few days due to to the lifestyle here gets bored and start counting the days to go back.

There are various reasons:
  • kid and his/her spouse both working
  • Grand kids goes to school
  • not knowing how to drive
  • minimum friend circle.
Ways to keep them busy:
  • request them to help you with Gardening
  • open a Netflix account and get them hooked to watching movies
  • teach them how to use iPad/laptop
  • open their Facebook account and get them hooked up ;)
  • have then go for walks
  • take them around whenever you can
  • book day tours for them
  • take them for shopping every weekend
  • take them to watch movies in theaters or watch a movie together at home whenever you can
  • ask them to maintain a diary
  • take them to library
  • request them to help you with a daily task
  • teach them the driving rules here
  • have them talk to their relatives in your naive country frequently over phone
  • show them how to talk on Skype
