[quote=Anonymous]We live very close to my parents and see them very frequently. We live on the other side of the country as my in-laws and, of course, see them much less frequently. But seeing them takes all our vacation time: we go out to see them in December, for spring break, and over the summer (for a week at a time). They come to see us two or three times a year, for a long weekend each time. The kids love seeing their grandparents and I feel some responsibility to making sure that they get time with their grandchildren, since we moved to DC for my family. But I'm becoming increasingly resentful that all of our vacation time is being spent going to see them. What's reasonable here? (This post brought to you tonight because we're visiting them now, DH just went out for the second night in a row to see friends, and I'm home cooking for the kids and trying to keep them from snacking on the cookies that FIL is eating, 30 minutes before dinner).[/quote]
