[quote=Anonymous]We have two sets of out of town grandparents. One is a 6 hour flight, one is a 6 hour drive. We make one trip to each per year. We are limited by vacation and budget. 4 plane tickets across the country are not cheap and the time change is brutal on our kids when they are still in napping ages.  Each family gets a week of our vacation time, we need the rest to cover school teacher days/closures.

They are welcome to visit us. Mine tend to come every 6-8 weeks or roughly 6-8 times a year, the other set comes twice a year. All are able-bodied and retired with plenty of money. Neither set has other out of town grandchildren/children so they are not constrained by having to visit multiple families.

We gets lots of grief from my ILs that we don't come more often. But we have one school age child, so the only school breaks are winter and spring, and summer.  We aren't going to come twice over the 9 week summer, we aren't going to spend both Christmas and Easter with them, so I'm not really sure how we could make more visits unless we did one of winter/spring break and a week in the summer? But then we'd have to make another trip to my parents to even up our efforts and with 4 such visits, we'd have no annual leave left at all. [/quote]
