[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly I'm not sure why you are so upset.  This doesn't seem that abnormal to me.  My DH gets along well with his brother and sister but is often several years between when we see them.  My SIL is a plane ride away but my BIL is only a 5 hour drive away.  While I like them I don't mind since I would rather spend our time and money going on a vacation with just our kids or our friends.  My BIL's kids are teenagers and it seems like traveling with them is almost harder than with our toddlers.  Older kids have all kinds of activities and school commitments and they have their own opinions about what type of vacation they want to go on.  One of my DH's nephews had to miss a cross country meet for our wedding and it was a HUGE deal (to the nephew).  I'm sure in a perfect world your sister would come visit, but the reality is its just not a high priority for her.  If you want to see her it seems like you are going to have to make the trip.[/quote]

My older kid is in school too. I'm not asking her to visit during the school year.  If I decided to be like her and not visit her, we'd never see each other.  How does anyone stay in touch if it's okay for certain people to exert no effort on the relationship?[/quote]
