[quote=Anonymous]Only when I had just given birth or was close to giving birth. Our mothers live far away, and we don't get to see them that often, One of the kids' grandmothers lives a 6.5 hour drive from us. The other one lives an 8-hour drive from us. We alternate which one we see at Christmas. Both DH and I have close friends from childhood living near our mothers that we enjoy seeing. DH also has other family in the area. We have the flexibility due to school being out and lighter work schedules to travel at this time without my using limited vacation days. (DH gets more vacation than I do.) There have been years I've resented it, especially when visiting my ILs because I don't like the way they celebrate Christmas. (Nothing objectively "bad" about it, just not what I like.) But I want my kids to have a good relationship with their grandparents. And when I look at other options for visiting these relatives, I end up coming back to this being the best option.[/quote]
