[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are away from family too.  Without exception, we travel to them more than they have ever traveled to visit us.  Both sides of the family.  DH and I each have one sister that visits us but we still visit them two times out of three.  For parents it is/was three times out of four.  for DH's other siblings, it is basically us traveling to them if we want to see them.  Some of the circumstances are logical and apparent, others are not.  The upside is that we determine who we visit and for how long.   It is just the way it is.  Don't be a bean counter that leads down the path of resentment. [/quote]

There's quite a difference between being a "bean counter" and expecting family to do SOME of the traveling to see you instead of ALWAYS going to see them. Bean counting is worrying about 55-45, not 0 vs 100.[/quote]

I disagree.  As I posted, DH has two sibling where it has been 100:0.  I do not get wrapped around the axle about it.  I want my children to have a relationship with their aunt, uncle and cousins. So, we travel.  We don't see them as often as the others, we we still make the effort and I don't bean count it.
