[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's hard to know how to view this. On it's face, I think your DH should do this for you-- they are your parents. OTOH, their past behavior and treatment of you/your DH/your kids really matter. I can imagine scenarios where I would totally team DH on this.

So. It sounds like you and DH are at an impasse, and traveling alone with 3 kids, one with SNs isn't really doable. You said you wanted to make 3 trips. What about you visiting with one or two kids at time?[/quote]

OP - that’s an option I’ve been considering. It may be the best way to go. DH not showing up will irk them and yeah, give them more reason to dislike him, but he could care less. [b]They’re from a background where you just do certain things for family because it’s family[/b]. So yeah, I may just try to go without him and make it palatable for myself and the kids. [/quote]
Which you are also doing. Which is what you are teaching your children to do. Do you not see the cycle continuing?

Anyways, I like the ideas already listed, but I would also not hesitate to stay at a hotel. 20m is not very far. Even better if theres a hotel pool for the kids to play in and burn off some energy in a boring-ass town.

I think the hotel is going to be the only solution that [i]might[/i] get your husband there. He can go visit once, and stay at the hotel with your SN child or go tour around separately.

Another idea, are your parents willing to travel to you? Paying for 2x plane tix and a hotel is probably still less than 5x tix to visit them. But that depends on them. My ILs are in their late 70s and still travelling so ymmv. [/quote]
