[quote=Anonymous][quote] The one time I think it is fine to use the "small kids" excuse is if you made one such big family gathering and just aren't up to doing it all over again. So, if you've already done the "show up and show off your kids/grandkids" family obligation, it is okay to elect not to go to another such big family gathering for the next few years. [/quote] Does travel time/distance factor into this? For example, my family (spouse and 3 kids) live on the opposite side of the globe from my extended family. It is a 36 hour journey and a 10.5 time difference. We’ve only visited once since having kids because the journey was so grueling with an infant, toddler, and preschooler, all of whole struggled to sleep on the various plane rides and then dealt with jet lag for weeks afterward. Family is welcome to visit us while we’re in this stage![/quote]
