[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is a freshman and about 7 hours away from us, no direct flights so driving is best way to get there. In-laws have said they really want to visit him. They are only 75 so not super elderly, but don't feel comfortable with very long distances anymore. The other option is a train that would get them 2 hours away or a bus (a comfortable one, not Greyhound) which could get them to the small town where college is. They've basically said they do not want to do the train or bus so dh and I would have to drive them.

We had not planned a trip at all because we went twice in the fall (drop off and parents weekend) and are going to move him out in early May. DS has to come to us for an event in February and has Spring break in March so we will see him this term as well. How would you deal with this? I am really dreading the idea of planning this whole overnight trip with in-laws with hotel rooms and hanging out the whole entire weekend and long drive back and forth. [/quote]

I find this very weird or a troll post

They need to get a life.[/quote]

It is cultural? Some cultures the grand parents are way way over kill and way too involved in my opinion. It depends on what you/they are accustomed to. [/quote]

Most of us here went to college. It’s busy and an independent time.

I never had, saw nor heard of any grandparents flying in to see any of my friends or peers. And certainly not to “hang out” for 2-4 days solid.

Even if parents “visited” or happened to be in town, at most people had time for a dinner or catch a game together (buy tix way ahead of time). [/quote]
