[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think it's fair and reasonable to think this through, to a certain extent. DH and I live literally exactly halfway between my parents (and some extended family) and his. It's a 4-5 hour drive to either and even this was/is a LOT until our kids were older. However, I think beyond some reasonable boundaries, you just can't make your parents see this, and also TBH you may not want to have to host your parents once you have a baby/young kid. I would have some discussion with your DW about how often you both think it's reasonable to travel to them (once a year? Every 6 months?) and then just do that. Like PPs have said, your parents will figure it out at some point without you mentioning that it's unfair they don't/won't travel as much.[/quote]
