[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good grief, that is insane, OP! I would talk to DH about cutting back on all the trips year-round. Figure out which one's matter most and cut back on others...set a rough total of trips you are willing to make a year--4 to 6 sounds like plenty if you are up for a whole weekend. Start with Mother's Day. Send MIL flowers, and enjoy that weekend as you wish.[/quote] I'm surprised by these responses. We normally visit at least once a month, but it does seem excessive to us. I assumed once a month was normal for closer family? Traffic is really bad to get to them. We feel guilt tripped to see them mainly because it's not their fault that we moved away.[/quote] Driving that far once a month is insane. Ridiculously far for anyone, not to mention a family with kids! I wouldn't call 4 hours away close at all. You need to get off the guilt trip train and stand up for yourselves. [/quote]
