[quote=Anonymous]DH needs to be INCLUDED is this conversation - but you need to be there as well to support all of them. These are his parents and I guarantee that it is 10x as difficult for him as it is for you. Asking him to do this by himself would be unfair and cruel. And I say this to all the "Let the DH handle it" posters. In our case, we were direct and we also did not make it JUST about the kids. After all, we care about the GP's safety too. "Mom and Dad, we are concerned about your safety. We noticed X the last time you drove and we realize that the drive to our place is tough (a lot of winding roads, hills, etc.). From now on, we will just bring DC's to you." My FIL took it in stride, my MIL cried like a baby and my DH was heartbroken. But once the routine kicked in, they realized that they were not missing any time and that it was easier on them. GL[/quote]
