My parents understand and don't give my wife and I grief over our shift work, but her parents (especially her mom) can get pretty passive aggressive over it.
Probably has something to do with both of my parents being military vets. The part that irks me is that her 'rents give her guff for not being able to visit, when they're the ones who are traveling the country in their RV camping but seemingly never have the time to come up by Kansas City (but they'll drop everything and leave in a minute to see her brother who's stationed on the east coast)

Yeah we can never get his parents to come on our side of town to visit...and it's only like 45 minutes away. We always have to travel to them. And when we've suggested stopping by on a regular weekend to visit...they all of a sudden get moody about it and have other plans. Even though they are retired and have much more free time than we do.
I can remember when we first moved to Scottsdale and his mom whining about how far away we would be to them. I had to bite my tongue and not say "umm, hello, my parents are 1400 miles away...I'm sure they would be plenty glad to only be 45 minutes away from me and not whine about it"
