[quote=Anonymous]This is how you set boundaries: No big conversations and expectations. YOU and your wife decide how often is reasonable to visit your parents. Personally, a 7 hour drive with a baby - I would go once a year. Every time they call and ask you to visit, you say “We can’t do that drive with a newborn, but you’re welcome to come visit us on XX or YY.” Then you accept that you might not see them as frequently as you did when you did all the work of visiting. Lots of older people do not want to put much effort into family relationships. If the lack of reciprocity bothers you, stop going so often. [/quote]
