[quote=Anonymous]OP, I would do two things. First, as a PP mentioned, I would kid-proof the house a bit and get some basic kid-gear (bibs, kid-sized plates/flatware/cups with sippy lids, some basic toys that can work for a range of ages--duplos are great for this, as are dress-up hats--and a few kid movies) so that you can honestly say that your house is all ready for kids. Then, I would talk to your family members one on one and tell them what you've told us. "I appreciate that traveling an hour with kids is so much harder than traveling without them, so I don't expect us to be 50/50. I would be happy with 90/10. But I need you guys to come visit me at least once in a blue moon. Without seeing you on my own turf at least rarely, I don't feel like I truly know you, or that you know me.[/quote]
