Need to vent about my dad

Before I begin I will admit I am on that special time of the month so I'm probably more pissy than normal.

My dad lives about 3 1/2-4 hours away and he ALWAYS thinks we should drive to see him instead of him and his wife coming here. I explain how much work it is to pack up DS and go for a weekend and him be out of his element but he still says the same thing every time. It drives me nuts, I'm to the point of just saying well if you want to see your grandson you will come up here. We went to our hometown 2 weeks ago for my great grandma's birthday and spent $250 for one night because of gas, hotel, food and dog boarding. He's nuts if he thinks I'm doing that anytime soon, we just bought a house and I stay home with DS, we don't have a ton of money to throw around all the time. Urgh. Happy friday.

    And someday it will be you reminding your kids that they can drop everything and visit once in a while. Stick out tongue

    I don't know-I think if my mom was still alive she would be more understanding about it since she was always the one packing us up. I think my dad forgets how much work it is.

    It is a lot of work to pack up your kid, but try to remember that your parents are not going to be here forever.  DH's mom drives me nuts sometimes and a 4 hour drive with a toddler isn't my cup of tea, but we make it a point to visit often, even

    I'm sorry, but I get it! DH's dad lives 4 hours away and he's only come to see us once in the 3 years we've lived here. I finally gave in this past weekend and made DH go with me to see him, since it had been way too long since he saw DS, but it's frustra

    Yea I hear ya! I told my dad it would just be nice if for once he said "you know what Jenna, we'll just come up there since it's a lot easier for you with Bex" but don't think I'll ever hear that. We'll just each argue about it, I think we'll have to go d
