[quote=Anonymous]You should feel hurt! Years ago we lived in California for four years and my parents were in NJ. We would visit them twice a year. They could never visit us on big holidays because there were so many other family members living near them. So we would invite them on our special occasions such as a first communion. I think they visited us twice in four years which I was OK with given the distance and so many other family events they had to attend locally. I think my wife's parents visited us twice in four years as well, from MD. My suggestion is to invite them for a special occasion and see if that works. I'd also ask them "why don't you want to visit us when you spend so much time visiting others"? Other than money or physical problems, other excuses would be pretty lame.

I have a SIL who skipped two of our three kids weddings for no good good reason. But one day with my wife she simply said "You know, I'm just not really into family." After having bailed her out financially a few times I said to my wife "good, that will be my answer back to her the next time she needs money!"
