Both my wife and I want our parents to have as much time with their grandkids as they can, while they still can. So every Sunday we spend the afternoon with them and have dinner together. We alternate of course, since her parents live in the opposite direction of mine. Nothing will change that. Gas could be $10/gallon and we'd still be going.
