[quote=Anonymous]OP here - I aim for once per year for each.  A long weekend or something just isn't practical, so for our 20 vacation days a year I think 5 to visit one set of grandparents, 5 to visit other set, 5 for extra around holidays, and 5 to make long weekends or whatever when grandparents visit us.

ILs are acting like thats waaaaay too little and DH is getting sucked into it with the "they've waited their whole lives to host their grandkids, they've been dreaming of this for ever and we're their only family, they may only have 10 more good years, this is all fil lives for..." etc etc etc

They buy tooooons of stuff for our visits (toddler bikes, toddler beds, age specific type stuff) which is sweet i guess to make it easier but then act so hurt that'll only get one or two uses

Practically it'd be very difficult to go more so its kind of a moot point but i'm tired of them acting like i'm the mean dil preventing them from living our their dream of showing off their grandkids regularly to all their friends[/quote]
