[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I appreciate the answers.

I think the stress comes from my kids asking when can we go with them to Busch gardens, a beach house, etc and my parents will get all excited “yes! We are definitely doing that! Give us a date! Yes!”…and my kids get soooooo excited. Then they visit for a few hours on Sunday. My kids are left thinking…huh?

I do NOT project this on them. I tell them thah Gma and Gpa are old and don’t like to travel and don’t like be in the sun. They like to visit at our home and that’s ok. Then we think of who WILL go to those places with us.

Does my heart ache that they don’t want to spend time with us? Sure. But that’s my pain to deal with at therapy.

We drive to see then when we can and we FaceTime.[/quote]

Oh- we had friends like this - pretend like they are going to do fun things with my son and then never follow through.  You just explain to your kids that some adults say things they do not mean.  It sucks a few times and then they get used to it.  [/quote]
