[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a 2.5 year old and an infant. One set of grandparents lives far away (Quebec) and they are retired. The other set lives a 20-minute drive away.  The Quebec grandparents know that they are always welcome to visit, and we have a downstairs guest room and bathroom that they've used when they visit (usually once or twice a year).  But Quebec grandparents are constantly harassing us to come to Quebec and see them.  I work full time at a law firm and am lucky to get a week off the whole year (and usually I have to work part of the time during that week).  DH's schedule is similar.

Do people really use the little vacation time that they have to go see grandparents?  I'm trying to figure out whether I'm being unreasonable in not wanting to schlep the whole family to Quebec, when they could just come here literally any time they like.  In fact, I would happily pay for their plane tickets (even though they are loaded).  Advice?[/quote]

Does your husband even want to go visit his parents?  There is no way I would be insisting that my husband visit people who were physically abusive to him.  [/quote]
