[quote=Anonymous]My sister's kids are in high school/college and close to my parents.  Parents live close, which helps.  They attend the kids' sporting events, etc. and spend time at their house so know their friends.  They take the kids out to lunch (often individually) and shopping (my parents aren't wealthy, so just to buy a new shirt or something like that).  Before they could drive, my parents would help carpool sometimes.  It's harder when you don't live close, which is the situation with my kids (who are tweens).  But I see the effort my parents make.  My dad texts my son about his favorite sports team.  They both want to talk to the kids over the phone once in a while.  When they visit, my parents take them to lunch and for ice cream, play cards with them, and ask them about their friends, their sports, school, and even their favorite video game. In short, my parents make a lot of effort, unlike DH's parents.  That's why my kids feel closer to my parents who live 3000 miles away than to DH's who are 3 miles away.[/quote]
