[quote=Anonymous]We are a LOT like you, OP--about a 4 hour car trip from both my ILs and my parents, and kids are about the same ages as yours. Complicating matters is the fact that my parents are divorced, so while we can see both of them on one visit to my hometown (where they both still live), we can't host them here at the same time. Honestly, it depends. Some years we seem to see everyone about every 4-6 weeks (with it mostly consisting of them coming here). Some years we have gone longer stretches in between visits with at least one of the parents. I don't feel bad, honestly. My kids LOVE their grandparents, are thrilled to see them whenever they do, and have lots of contact by phone and mail between visits. We have had to set some boundaries in the past with my FIL (prior to having kids) and I don't want to go back to the days when he would randomly announce that he'd be here in a few days to sleep on our couch.
