[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP has already given the in-laws a standing invitation to visit. The next step if for the in-laws to ask about a specific time/date. It's not OP's responsibility to arrange everything. [/quote]

Many, many, many people do not take a vague "Oh, come anytime," as an actual invitation, and think that inviting yourself to someone else's home is rude.  OP should just offer a couple of dates that work for her--a concrete invitation.  If she could use some babysitting help, she should call and tell them when and ask if they'd like to watch the kids.  This is not that hard.  OP wants to whine and complain that everything is on her, but she's literally doing NOTHING.  And they didn't even complain to her, they complained to (it sounds like) their own daughter.  OP never calls them, but somehow they are supposed to know how they can help?  It's 100 percent fine for OP to say that she can't drive the kids over to the in-laws' house, and that if they want to see the grandkids, they need to come to her, but otherwise, she's being silly.  People aren't mind readers.  [/quote]
