[quote=Anonymous]My mother in law lives on the opposite side of the metro area from us--so reliably a 40-60 minute drive. She travels a lot, but we see her about twice a month when she's in town. She has proven herself unreliable for childcare, so we do one of the following things: (1) Go to her house for a "holiday" focused meal (e.g. Labor Day) (2) Invite her over for play time at our house (3) Take her to a neutral location, such as the pool (4) Invite her a long on a child-focused outing we were going to do anyway We used to go out to meals, but we are in that toddler phase where restaurant-eating is not fun for anyone. We may return to eating out with her when our children can stay in their seats for more than 5 minutes.[/quote]
