[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cherish my relationship with my 30-year-old son. He's single, and he lives in the Midwest for work. We have a standing Sunday call that usually lasts ~45 minutes, and he flies back home at least 4 times a year. He visits us for every Christmas holiday, and he tries to schedule work trips in the area. My DH and I visit him a couple of times a year. He's extremely family-oriented and will fly home for a weekend for a family wedding or ill grandparent.

He's a very sweet, bright, kind, generous human being. <3[/quote]

I’d wonder how any 30yo (male or female) is ever going to build their own family if their focus is on spending so many weekends a year with his parents. Maybe he’s not interested in his own family which is obviously fine too[/quote]

Or else this is the son's pattern while still single. DH was always available to his parents for holidays, etc., when he was single and up until we became pretty serious. And although it was completely appropriate for DH to not be available to his parents in the same way, I was blamed for coming in and changing everything.

So pp, try to me more understanding when your son changes his plans someday. [/quote]
