Visit Frequency.

Some parents expect to see their grand kids frequently—and certainly at every family holiday—this can be difficult especially for families where the grandparents are divorced or when significant travel is involved. Many young families who live in major cities have the additional challenge of living in small apartments that aren’t really able to comfortably accommodate guests. Be upfront about the challenges of travel with children and seek to find creative solutions if their visitation demands are too much for you—like meeting for a week at a beach house nearer to you.
