[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP do they have other grandkids? I have around 15 cousins and my family was the only family out of state. Both sides of grandparents rarely came to visit. Maybe only once a year. My parents took us to visit our grandparents all the time and I feel like I have a close relationship with them.

But yes, my parents tell us constantly that DC is "too cold for them" wtf. I'm sick of celebrating Christmas in FL while sweating. [/quote]

My parents live in FL, also.  They told us they would never visit us in DC from October - March.  They do make a trip up every summer.  We also try to meet at other locations.  We've met them in Myrtle Beach for Thanksgiving twice.  That was fun for everyone.  We've talked about Colorodo, but haven't planned yet.

I've found that my kids are a bit much for my parents.  My dad doesn't have the patience for the whinning and crying.  My mom is still working and doesn't get a lot of time off.  They are part of the Boomer generation, so I think they like doing their own thing.  I've learned to accept it.

How about an annual family spring break trip?  You could still create memories with your family, it just will not be Christmas.  We like having family in Florida to escape the cold.  Make it a win/win for everyone.[/quote]
