What’s reasonable?
I have a friend group who seems to have a large expectation that I will visit for brunches and other outings regularly. I now live three hours outside of the DC region. Am I being unreasonable? Its quite a bit to hit the road every other weekend or so for brunch having small kids at home. |

| I think it’s just a thing people say, because they don’t want to face the reality that you may not see them again. I’d just say, wish I could, hope yo see you soon! |

| I barely see friends who live 20+ minutes away. If you’re 3+ hours away, I’m likely to see you a few times a year at best more realistically every couple years. |

| Two to three times a year, mainly for long weekends. |

| Do you all have kids? This seems like a very unrealistic expectation! |

| Invite them ALL for a brunch in your town so they can see how difficult that is! |
