[quote=Anonymous]I am an adult child with two brothers. We all get along really well even though I did not get along with my brother growing up. We all have children very close in age which is nice. Our problem is we all live all over the place. Parents live in CT, we live in DC, one lives in IL, the other is military and currently in TX but moves every 2-3 years. This makes getting together very challenging. Since both parents are retired they visit all of us usually 2 times or
More per year. It is very rare that we are all together and usually takes a lot of coordination but this year we did manage to rent a beach house and take a family vacation together which I think we will try every couple of years. A couple things hinder get together otherwise:

1) space. As a family of 5 we got in our house nicely (the house we grew up in). But now with everyone married and 2 kids we are 15!! So it gets tough for anyone to host and flight plus hotel really adds up.

2) time. My parents are the ones who travel to us as they have the luxury of time. My siblings and or their spouses have demanding jobs and not a ton of vacation. Between vacations they take for themselves and visiting in laws it is easy to run out of time. I sometimes don’t see a brother for over a year for this reason. But my parents see all of us at our own places. [/quote]
