[quote=Anonymous]" ... if at all." Op, stop with the dramatics. Why say you won't see them at all? So, I'll offer you a suggestion, imo. How about this: Once a year have your entire family fly to them, stay in a hotel. Can you afford that? In not, tell them what you need money-wise to make that happen. They can consider the money you need to make it happen an early (inheritance) gift. They can keep track of it, if they'd like. Next, YOU and you alone can visit them. A couple times a year. Again -- hotel. But if they are capable of traveling, they should also come visit you and your family -- again-- hotel. It would be nice if it were an equal effort. Give the adjustment a couple of years before letting the visit frequency become an issue between you.

Re: your kids missing out on knowing/spending time with Grandparents. Yes. Yes that will be the case. Don't sour the relationship -that is- because of what you wish it would be. Build loving relationships with those who are available.[/quote]
