[quote=Anonymous]OP here: thanks for all the feedback. We are 2/3 of the way through the year and they have been up to visit us twice this year. Once was in May when our baby was born (they were here for several days - stayed in a hotel - their preference as we have a very small house) and once for a couple of hours on my son’s birthday. We do visit them often (this year has been a little harder as I was pregnant and then had a newborn). I have, on many occasions, taken the kids to visit them without my husband. Finances are not an issue for them, so that’s not a barrier. I think I’ve just made the incorrect assumption that because they have the flexibility of retirement, the financial means, and close proximity (especially relative to the families of a lot of people in the DC area), that they’d want to come up to visit their grandkids more than 2-3 times a year. But it sounds like we’re not alone in this boat.[/quote]
