1. Do they babysit at all for your kids? How many times a year?

Sometimes when they come for a visit. This is something they want to do to bond with the kids, not something we ask for.

1-3

3. How many times do they visit you a year?

1-2

4. If you fly.. Who pays for their plane tickets if they visit you?

They do

5. If you fly.. Who pays for your plane ticket if you visit them?

We do

My mom will pay. My dad will split. DH's parents essentially never go out to a restaurant. I think the one time they did we treated but it was like a gift.

No. But they ate generous and we accept things like contributions to 529s

No.

9. Do you have savings benchmarked to care for your parents as they age?

No.

10. Do you plan to take your parents or in laws in as they are aging if they are in a position they can no longer live alone and have your discussed with spouse?

We would consider taking in dh's mom if she needed it. Maybe my dad. We've discussed but not in depth. That decision would be discussed in great depth.[/quote]
