pil any more than every 8-12 weeks.
We have a big family and lots of friends. There are many that we like to see as well as pil. It's a matter of fitting them all in as well as having family time alone with just dh and the dcs.
I don't regard grandparents as more important than uncles, aunts, cousins or dear family friends.
I'm getting very tired of the emotional blackmail they lay on dh when I'm not there. He gets upset, feels very guilty and takes it out on me.
I mean, we've taken them on holiday four or five times with us, we see them when it's a good time for us - have them to stay over the weekend.
It's still not enough. They have no hobbies or interests of their own despite being young and fit - early sixties.
I'm getting pretty hacked off with the pressure. I've got 4 dcs and all the work that comes with them and their activities.
I feel like it's unfair they have a "chat" with dh every time and then he tries to pressure me into having them down more often. I just don't want to because I want to see other people too.
Am I wrong?
