[quote=Anonymous]My situation is different because my brother is mentally ill, but lives within 30 minutes of us. But he's unwilling to be a part of our lives. I do everything I can to see his kids, to have his kids hang out with mine and get to know each other. In your shoes, if money permitted, I would continue to be the one who keeps travelling. When their kids get older, you might offer to fly them to "you" for a visit. I just feel it's important to help foster relationships among cousins so that they can have the opportunity to know them as they age. I only saw my first cousins a couple of times a year as kids, but we are close now. We all have kids and we hang out about 5-6 times a year. I know it's not fair, but I'd balance my desire to keep family in touch against the imbalance of effort put in.[/quote]
