[quote=Anonymous]OP, I understand your frustration, as I can count on one hand the number of times my in-laws have been to our house in over 25 years of marriage (this is not an exaggeration). It can feel hurtful, like they don't care to make any effort. I'm afraid I don't have any advice, just commiseration. My husband would not want to visit them less frequently (in fact, he'd love to go more frequently), but luckily they live a day's drive away, so it's not too expensive. Once plane tickets come into the equation, I know it gets very expensive. My own parents live farther away, so sometimes we fly if we can find good prices and sometimes we drive (about a 1.5 day drive). Because of the cost and distance, we do visit them somewhat less frequently than my in-laws, but they also come to visit us, and that makes all the difference. In the end, especially when the kids are young, we didn't have unlimited time or money, so we had to make compromises. [/quote]
