[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dude, it'll cost you twice as much to bring the kids.  I have to imagine it'd be nice to spend some time with your sis and BIL without watching the kids.  So just be straight with your sister about it.  Tell her that if you're going to travel it's easier (AT THIS POINT) to do it without the kids. If she really wants to see the kids, she can come to you, but you and DH would be more than happy to come up and visit with them and have some adult time. It's possible a few years in the future they'll be the ones with little kids and you'll be in the easier place of heading out their way more often.  [/quote]

Thanks!  This is what I'm trying to do but I'm being told (not by sis) that it isn't fair to make them do all the traveling to see the children.  Although it isn't sis who is telling me that I think she probably feels like that somewhat too but won't say it to me.  I just wanted to make sure I wasn't being unreasonable here.  Yes, in the future it will be reversed when she has young children and I would definitely go there more often then.  She and BIL are a little short-sighted though and honestly have NO clue how hard it is to have 3 children under 4.  [/quote]
