[quote=Anonymous]Preface.  I think we're more family oriented than many on DCUM.  And, I have learned that I don't often regret the things I do, but I do regret opportunities missed.  So, here, where your son would love having a meal out with his grandparents and his grandparents would love to connect by seeing where he is now, I would do it.  Family is important and I would want my son to be able to show his grandparents where he's living and what he's doing.

It wouldn't be a weekend trip, just an overnight.  If I were resentful about paying their share (and I might be), I would ask for their credit card so I could book their room.  And, I'd plan it rather than relying on spouse because I like to be in control of where we stay and what we do.  And, if there were places I wanted to stop on the way there or back, I would do it.

Last thing.  My kids love their grandmother (only grand they had by the time they came around) even though she was not often present for them.  Kids are so forgiving and so accepting of people's limitations.[/quote]
