[quote=Anonymous]Also, you might think about what it was like when you were a little kid or ask your DH what it was like in his family.  I remember driving to my grandparents house (about 2.5 hours away) at least once a month when I was a kid.  I know that my parents made this trip when I was a baby because I have seen plenty of pictures.  However, my grandparents also visited us about once a month and the whole family traded sites for holidays so there was lots of visiting all around.

I agree with the PP that it seems like some modern grandparents aren't as willing to travel as ours were (maybe because the retired lifestyle is more busy and active than it once was).  But, it also seems like a lot of people who have the "I don't travel with kids" rule are probably the children of people who were more willing to travel to see family.  Now that your parents are grandparents, they may expect you to come and visit them the way that they went to visit their parents. It is a pain to travel with little kids, but people with little kids grow up and become grandparents who want their grandkids to visit.
