My brother in law and sister in law live on the opposite side of the country and so they see my wife's parents about 3 times a year... my MIL has commented MANY times about how it would be almost too much for her if we were to move away.

My sisters don't have any kids at this juncture, so my kids are my parents only grandchildren. We've never really entertained thoughts of moving too far away, but the local gravity would likely be too much to overcome.

My own parents live 1000 miles away from me, and my kids see them once a year. My wife's parents live 6 miles from us, and we see them 1 to 3 times a month. When we were first married and the kids were little, they spent much more time with her family, because they were free babysitting. My wife has siblings that are 12 and 16 years younger than her, and we babysat them quite a lot when they were little. My in-laws returned the favor when we had our own kids. That's what family does. I believe that it is useful for people to have that sort of support system close by. Not required, of course, but very useful.

Just out of curiosity, how many of Chloe's friends who spend so much time with their grandparents over the summer have parents who both work and don't get summers off? When it comes to how often your kids see the grandparents compared to their cousins, how much difference is there in the time and effort required for them to get together with the grandparents vs how much time and effort it takes for YOU to get together with same? There were some bitter feelings in my wife's family, because Great Grandma spent sooooo much time with X's kids and grandkids and not with Y's. And when everyone got together Great Grandma was always bragging on X's kids and telling stories about them, but not so much anyone else's. But that's because X lived only a few miles away from Great Grandma, and everyone one else lived a minimum of 30 miles away. It was easy for Great Grandma to see X's family 2 or 3 times a week. And Great Grandma didn't have a cell phone back then, so X was a local call and no one else was. People were very resentful, but there were good reasons for all of it.

Not saying any of that applies to your situation, but it's the first thing I'd examine before I started ascribing anything to weird motives or personality flaws.

We like having the grandparents involved in our kids' lives. But we absolutely do NOT want to live close to the grandparents. We used to live all the way across the country from them, and we liked having our space. When we moved back to the Midwest to be closer to the grandparents, after our first two kids were born, we drew a circle around our hometown with about a 400-mile radius and refused to move anywhere within that circle. We like that the grandparents need to plan ahead to come visit, rather than popping in unannounced. And we like being away from some of the family drama that has occurred on my wife's side of the family. So for us, seeing them a few times a year and talking to them on the phone a couple times a month is fine.
