[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My ILs live about 5 hours from us[/b] and I think at this point we can just write them off as grandparents. 
They are kind and fun people and love children. They have 10 grandchildren local to them and do a lot with these kids. 
We have not seen them since fall of 2019, first due to Covid and then due to the fact that they weren’t available on days we wanted to visit (other grandkids had sports tournaments or they went camping with them) and they don’t respond when we ask about them visiting us. My DH is at the point where he has stopped offering to visit and stopped asking them to visit. 
My kids (13 and 10) ask when they can see their grandparents again and I am not quite sure what to tell them. 
[b]My parents live on the other coast and we visit them for several weeks in the summer.[/b] DH’s parents are way more fun than mine, so the kids really miss having that relationship. [/quote]

So...how often do you visit your husband's parents?[/quote]

Pre-pandemic we would go there twice a year for a long weekend. They would come see us twice a year and stay 2 days each time.

When I see my parents, DH comes for a few days and the kids and I stay longer. My parents are in their 80’s and can’t fly anymore. [/quote]
