[quote=Anonymous]I was just invited to a parent's retirement party about 4 weeks from now. I live about 6 hours away. I have a superficial relationship with this parent but knew about the retirement. Was just called about the party and told an invitation would follow. I feel some obligation to go and I'm sure it would mean a lot to my parent. However, the relationship is not great (parent has not made great effort to get to know me or my chlldren) and I'd be giving up work and time with my children (who are at high-needs stages). The other part of me wants to send a card and gift and be done with it. Thoughts? [/quote]
