Let me add some basic math which demonstrates that the hour and a half travel time is actually a blessing. The visitee should be grateful for the following sacrifice on your part: 90 minute train ride to Brooklyn. 90 minute visitation. 90+ minute return trip to Inwood Frequency 1/year A 5 hour commitment should be more than enough to maintain goodwill and keep you reproductively informed. More importantly the length of your stay is pre-determined and limits the amount of diapering you will be forced to observe or participate in. You absolutely have to leave on time because of the long ride home. Being 7 hours away is even better as you will be required to spend only 11 minutes with the infant before turning around and heading home.]]> Selfish?
