[quote=Anonymous]Mom, I’m sorry you are hurt.

[quote=Anonymous]My mom used to live 2.5 hours away, with no traffic. Prior to that she was on the west coast for a few years. So she has always lived where it suited her, not where her family was. Last year she moved a bit closer to the DC area, about 2 hours from us. This is near the Delaware beaches, so two hours can easily be four hours in a normal year with all the beach traffic. She is upset with us because she “moved closer to family and still rarely sees us.” [b]We have two kids and we both work full time, busy jobs with no help[/b]. Pre-pandemic we visited her a couple times after she moved, but since then we have seen her once. She’s hurt because she feels so alone even though we live “close” by. A two hour drive on a good day is not an easy trip for us - how do others feel? Am I right to think she is being unreasonable? I feel bad we don’t see her often but if she really wanted to be close, she should have moved closer. [/quote]

2 hours is not “close”, she’s is being unreasonable.  [/quote]
