I always hated being "forced" to visit my parents since I only had a few weeks of leave and they were retired. They had two things I didn't have- time and money. We did visit every few years, but it was always a struggle.
I agree. It's selfish to expect your kids to use their very limited vacation time dragging their kids to visit their parents at their dream retirement home. It's a hassle and cuts into their other plans.
Retired people have time and money...use it to visit them. Come on a long weekend, stay in a nice hotel with a water park and have the grandkids visit you there. Mom and Dad get a break and no one has to burn valuable vacation time.
