[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By "Grandparents" - - are these parents of you/DH or actual Grandparents for you? If they are parents you should travel to see them - I don't care how far away they live - once a year at least - regardless of how many times/or how easy it is for them to visit you.[/quote]

They are my in-laws and my DH's parents.  [b]My DH does not like them, and I do not like them either, so that maybe provides a gloss to my question.  They were physically abusive to him when he was growing up.  They have not ever apologized or tried to make amends, and instead act like nothing ever happened -- it gets under my DH's skin. [/b] But I still feel like it's good for my kids to have a relationship with their grandparents.[/quote]

FFS, then let them go.  Let DH determine how often you see them, decide if they are worth the effort.  It's just not your call.  Focus on your own parents.[/quote]
That's fair advice. My DH said he never wants to return to Quebec; he has not been in over 20 years.  I will listen to him and stop being guilt tripped by the inlaws.[/quote]

Thank God.  Why the hell would you think that your kids having a relationship with these people is more important that their history of abusing their child and your husband's feelings?  [/quote]
