DH and I have been together for 11 years, his parents live 5 hours away. Parents are very nice but very full on, you all know the type.
They used to come and stay with us a few times a year before we had DD a few years ago, and we also used to go up there a few times a year too.
Since DD was born (not their first grandchild) things have turned a little strange... they haven't been to us since July 2016 despite numerous invites. They attended DD christening in May 2016 but stayed in a hotel night before and drove home straight after the christening (we offered them to stay with us night before and night of, again declined). And they've not returned since.
But we are still expected and have been going there and it's starting to piss me off. They know hard it is driving for 5 hours with a toddler in tow, all the packing etc etc. They are both retired so can come down here as leisurely as they please but they just won't. Last time DH asked them down for DD birthday this year they said they had "plans". They go NOWHERE. Once a week to the supermarket, that's it.
I'm starting to resent this situation, I've discussed it with my DH but he hasn't outright asked them what the issue is.
And now somehow it looks like we're going up again over xmas holidays despite me now being pregnant again!
I don't want to go!!! I want to dig my heals in and say no.
Helllllppppppo!!!!!!
