[quote=Anonymous]We have a similar situation, OP. Divorce really tends to screw up family logistics, and it's us adult children who end up bearing the brunt of it. Ultimately, you have to be the guardian of your own boundaries. Families are all so different, there is no answer to "what is reasonable". I would suggest you divide and conquer. Take DS to visit your own parents without DW, or have her join you later in the trip. She can do the same for you. That way at least one of you gets a break sometimes. Embrace family visits as an opportunity for free babysitting and go on a date or undertake a household project. When my folks visit, we do a lot of gardening and home improvement type stuff, and they are thrilled to help out and to involve DD3 in projects, which is super fun for her. My own parents only visit once a year, which is not enough so I have to travel more to see them. At least they are willing and able to come to you![/quote]
