Grandparents--unequal treatment

[Anonymous]

We get the same from both sides. Multiple trips made to other siblings per year, gifts bought for them while visiting us, talking NON-STOP about the other grandkids in front of DC, etc. But it's like pulling teeth to get them to come for a visit here. Yet, our house is the least stressful -- we don't ask them to babysit while visiting, we always give plenty of downtime, get foods they like and make sure the activities are fun for them. The other siblings just shove their kids on the grandparents and consider it time off.

My solution is to simply not waste my time and effort planning trips to see them anymore. They are more than welcome here anytime they want to come. But this year, we are planning no travel for the holidays. We invited everyone here, but apparently it was too much trouble. Oh well.
