[quote=Anonymous]Post-quarantine issue. ILs now want to see grandkids all the time, which I get. But, they can’t/won’t make the drive to us because the AC doesn’t work in their car so they “can’t drive far”. Last week DH took them to visit and then he visited, but now he’s back to work in the office and since I am currently not working, they think I’m chauffeur. They aren’t comfortable with sleepovers. They are a half hour away which isn’t bad, but we’ve never gotten along in the kind of way that I’d stick around, so it seems sort of pointless to drive them there, drive a half hour home to then turn around and drive an hour round trip to get them home. Normally I’d find a Starbucks or mall or something close, but everything is closed. I’m fine making this trek once a month, but I’m not doing it weekly, which is what they expect. For the couple hours alone, I have to drive two hours total, and it’s just not worth the time or gas or miles on my vehicle to me to do this weekly. What is the best thing I/DH can tell ILs without hurting feelings?[/quote]
