[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I invite them to come to me and remind them that planes fly both ways. [/quote]

That's kind of b**chy. You're basically saying "I'm lazy so if you want to see me you'll have to come here" but in a meaner way.[/quote]
Not even close. It's saying "it's hard to travel as a family of 5 vs 2 ILs, if you want to visit feel free". Why should the larger family have the imposition of flying across the country to visit? That makes no sense at all. It costs more, far more of a hassle and why am I taking vacation days to visit someone who has unlimited PTO (retired).[/quote]

Because they are so so special! [/quote]
Lol yep. The pp who called this "b**chy" is clearly an upset IL who refuses to travel to see their family and expects everyone else to fawn over them and do all the work to see their grandkids.

Planes go both ways, phone calls go both ways, etc. If anyone is complaining about not getting enough attention they are WELCOME to put in more effort. They just never do, and prefer to complain. [/quote]
