[quote=Anonymous]We have no local family.  My parents live on the West Coast.  We have 2 young kids.  My parents are retired and travel the world.  However, they only stay in 5 star hotels and they only go to "fancy" places.  We only see them twice a year and my kids don't really know them.  In order to see them more often, I have invited them many times to vacation with us.  We usually go to the beach and stay in a family friendly hotel.  They always decline, saying that they only go to "nice" places.  I feel like couldn't once in awhile they come with us to the beach so they can see their grandkids more often?  They can stay at a different hotel, but it really bothers me that they let the fact that we don't go to "fancy" places get in the way of seeing their only grandkids.

When they do see us, they come to visit us, and stay with us for 5 days.  They just want to sit in the house, they don't help out with anything, and are very high maintenance guests.  It is hard for me to do all their cooking and cleaning on top of taking care of two young kids when they do visit, especially since my husband works long hours and isn't around for their visits.  Plus they never want to do anything outside of the house, so that makes it much harder to entertain them in the house all day.  Vacationing with them would be a much easier and nicer way for them to see their grandkids.  How can I convince them to vacation with us?  [/quote]
