At what age did your in-laws stop traveling? Mine are 65 and 62 and I can’t wait until they stop insisting on driving the 20 hrs each way to visit and then staying with us multiple days to make the drive worth it and spending every waking minute with us. I would prefer them to fly and stay for a long weekend (~3 days) and/or get a hotel or at least do their own thing for part of the time. Annnnd thanks for listening to my rant. ;)

Glad I have a good relationship with my in laws... I will be sad when the day comes when they or my parents are no longer able to travel.

As a kid, my most special memories were with my grandparents. So I don’t ever want to limit my kids’ time with their grandparents.

Ummmm you probably have a long way to go if you’re waiting for them to be too old to travel. 62 is young! 😂

Could you offer to put them up at a hotel? Maybe schedule some house repairs or something to make it super inconvenient for them to stay with you & maybe they will realize the hotel is better for everyone.
