[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like seeing both my parents and my IL’s is a chore/obligation LOL. I think it’s easier when you live close because it’s easier to build a relationship, see each other for a few hours more often, etc. vs. when you live further away and the visits have to be longer and more involved. Unfortunately we live a long car ride/short plane trip from the IL’s and an even longer car ride/still fairly short plane trip from my parents. [/quote] OP here - agree. The in-laws are a plane ride away so when they come visit, they stay for over a week and suddenly it’s seeing them 24/7 for days when I haven’t seen them in ages. And they don’t get a hotel and don’t even go sightseeing/do their own thing. They’re just with us constantly. It’s a lot to deal with. I sometimes wonder if I would mind them less if they were nearby and we saw them in small doses. I wouldn’t “love” them still but might tolerate them better.[/quote]
