[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are rural areas in MA. Maybe his idea of traveling is to work on a farm in New Hampshire. You can't shove your dreams for someone down their throat. Let him have HIS dreams. My teenage daughter is a lovely, well-meaning girl. But teenagers are self-absorbed and sometimes I have to remind her when we meet up after school/work to say "how was your day?" or other niceties. Being angry and holding a grudge is unproductive. So just call him and say "Hey Jack, how's it going? I'm good - let me tell you about the baby! He's 4 months and starting to smile and get happy when he sees people he recognizes. Want to come out here and visit for a weekend so you can meet your nephew?" Nudge him in the direction you want him to go. [/quote] And Jack will likely say " that's nice" and avoid future phone calls with her. No one but mom and dad care about a 4-month-olds smiles.[/quote]
