[quote=Anonymous]My parents are in their early 70s and live 30 min away. I plan something with them every weekend - sometimes an activity, sometimes just family dinner. They usually come to us for kid’s activities, but we try to go to them when we can. I have to do the planning - they don’t initiate. They claim they don’t want to bother me, but really it’s that my mom gets annoyed if I can’t talk at the exact moment she calls or I don’t like her suggestions. If my parents lived in my neighborhood, I would expect they would come over for dinner 2-3x a week. Nothing formal, just pop in and hear how the kids’ day went at school. I fantasize about being able to buy them a house walking distance so that when my kids are teens they could go over and take the trash out, mow the lawn or I could take them to appointments, or drop off a hot lunch.
