[quote=Anonymous]Ironically, it was actually easier for us when they were little.  As horrible as twelve hours in the car with infants was, the logistics actually get more complicated with two jobs, three kids, three pets and various schedules.  it's difficult to actually find a week where no one is committed to anything, and my schedule and my husband's seldom even line up when it comes to vacations.

In addition, my in-laws plan nothing for the kids to do, and they don't have internet -- so it's difficult if a child has homework that needs to be done that requires an internet connection, and I can't even manage to sneak in a little work every day unless I leave the kids with my IL's (who always complain about how 'wild' they are) and go find a coffee shop or something.

It's really hard now that my MIL is too old to travel (or so she claims).  My parents -- also twelve hours away -- visit frequently and for some reason my husband won't just fly to Vt and see his mother without us.  it would make it all so much easier![/quote]
