Coordinate with Grandparents & Extended Family
Building a synchronized support network for your children
Successful family management is not a solo sport; it requires a coordinated team.
We realized that our extended family — grandparents, aunts, and uncles — wanted to be involved but lacked the real-time data to be truly helpful.
Instead of constant back-and-forth communication, we integrated them into our Perelo ecosystem. By inviting significant people into our digital family group, we have created a "single source of truth." Grandparents can see the calendar and attend events without us having to send reminders. Caregivers have instant access to necessary info.
And Perelo is so easy to use, even my mother can use it.
This transparency reduces friction and ensures that everyone is moving in the same direction.
Why I finally stopped being the family switchboard operator
I love my parents and my in-laws, I really do. But if I get one more text asking what time the school play starts or what the kids want for Christmas, I might actually disappear into the woods. Or admire the walls!
Being the "default parent" means you are basically a 24/7 secretary for everyone else. I am the only one who knows the schedule, the sizes, and the plans.
I started using Perelo specifically to get these people off my back in the nicest way possible. I invited my mom and my sister to the family group in the app. Now, when they want to know the soccer schedule, they just check the app. When they want to buy a birthday gift, the wish list is right there.
And no, they are not tech savvy, but there is no syncing, no difficult things to remember, just point and click! It feels like I finally handed off a part of my brain to someone else.
