My kids almost have zero relationships with my 83 year old MIL. Her place is too small for the five of us and dog to visit. She also refuses to visit or travel.

Why can't you board your dog? You should visit you MIL anyway. Expecting an 83 yo to travel alone is silly. You can pack in a small house for a brief visit. It sounds like you just don't like MIL.[/quote]
+1 we make the trek across the country to visit my parents and stay in a hotel or airbnb condo.  They are in their 80s and have a hard time flying that far, and they live in a tiny condo.

I'm not even all that close to my parents, but they are still my parents, and I want my kids to see their grandparents at least once a year or so.

IMO, you are cheating your kids of seeing your grandparents.[/quote]

This is not the only way to look at it. Sometimes family relationships are strained and boarding animals and flying across the country and getting an Airbnb or hotel with multiple kids is expensive. Sometimes it’s not feasible or enjoyable to do that every year. [/quote]
