[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.  I am thinking this is more about him moving away than anything else.  [/quote]

???

Are they the kind of ILs who think you should do all the traveling because DH moved away?

Time to end that line of thinking.  Sometimes adult children move.  That's life!  Time to adapt to that reality and start traveling or adapt to not seeing your grandkids so often.[/quote]

I sympathise.  I also had the ILs who had a problem with DH moving away.  Fortunately, it was still within driving distance -- for us anyway...other than our wedding, they never drove to see us, even when our babies were born (still kind of bitter about that).  It's like he was the only person in 200 years to leave his hometown and they have no idea how to have a relationship with someone who doesn't live down the street.  Fortunately, in our case, DH didn't care about upsetting his parents so mom's guilt trips didn't work (both MIL and FIL have since passed away)[/quote]
