advise on grandparents (my x inlaws)
      #14979 - 06/08/05 01:23 PM

they live 2 hours away, in 2000 we went to court and is stated 4 visits a month but also that was back when i lived in north jersey close to them i have moved 3 1/2 years now in south jersey and they have stopped coming to the bday parties and hardly any phone calls. they only want the kids at their house and in the summer but i work evenings both kids are in school and i have every other weekend off for quality time with them and my summers with them. Plus they want to keep in touch with their friends and join groups etc...

what do i do?

Also besides the parties, i also invite them to the kids shows at school and invite them to come any time to visit just give me a week notice but they say the drive is too much, i dont get it. Its only ok to see them if i give them the kids for 2 weeks at a time.

You probably should consult an attorney and amend the visitation to state that since your children are now in school, there are school activities and summer activities that are necessary for the development of your childrens welfare and reduce the visits to something more reasonable, for example, spring break only with the grandparents.

It sounds like they are more interested in entertaining themselves then in being an active part of your children's lives. That's not fair to you or the kids. I would consult an attorney immediately and have the order reversed, and tell the grandparents to get a hobby!

As a grandparent myself, I would say that the long distance to drive is to much for older folks. Although I personally would do the road trip as often as I could, since i still work and can't afford to miss work. I live only 30 minutes away from mine and I haven't missed anything. One of my grandsons lives with his dad and he doesn't let us know about anything going on. He didn't even tell the boys mother about graduation from kindergarden. We all mised it because of him. He didn't even go.
