[quote=Anonymous]Here's what I do to get my parents to accept tickets. I tell them we want to see them/come see them, but that it's difficult for us to travel right now with the kid's schedules, my medical issues, etc. I ask them if they would be open to the idea instead of us coming to them, them coming to us. This way they see that I'm requesting they come visit- then I ask if I may buy their tickets since they have so graciously been willing to go through the hassle of the travel. They say they are thrilled to come see us, and they rememberhow busy things were when my siblings and I were young, then they let me buy the tickets. Win-win. (It's probably just a dance all of us play at this point, but it works for us.) Good luck![/quote]
