My little boy is now 10 weeks old. My in laws live around 2 1/2 hours away if the traffic is good, before we had to stop for feeding changing etc. I have been putting off going up to see them as I think the drive is going to be bad (we have been stuck in some monumental traffic jams in the past). There is also the factor that it costs us around £80 in fuel these days even doing eco driving. My husbands contract finishes in a month and I am the main earner normally, so we are already counting pennies in case he can't find something else straight away. To add to this our bb does not sleep in the car and has cried for the whole hours journey to my husbands grans.
On the flip side I feel very guilty for not going as my parents have seen him about once a fortnight, however they make the drive to us. Am I selfish to just want my inlaws to come here for a change and not have to do the drive until he is at least sleeping more than 2 hours a night (so we can do a late night drive) or is more comfortable in the car (working on it)?
