[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We recently visited my son’s family for two weeks, a long flight for us. We spent a nice four day Easter weekend at a resort with them. But then once back at their house, it was difficult to get any meaningful time with the grandkids or my son.

The kids, in middle school, had things after school - practices and bday parties- and the parents had conferences and evening events too. The girls also mainly retreated to their rooms at night, or one would watch tv with us until late.

I miss the days when families would visit each other for half of summer or extended periods with no work. Oh well. [/quote]

It sounds like your son did not actually want you to visit for two weeks. That is a long visit. If he wanted to spend time with you, he would have. You need to take the hint and adjust.

Did you grow up wealthy so that the adults in your family didn't have jobs and could just while away the summer doing nothing? You need to adjust your expectations about how much vacation time the adults actually have.[/quote]
