[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, you can get on a plane and be there for any signficant events your family wants you there for and you won't haunt them when they don't want you...[/quote] 1. Flying is a PITA these days, long lines, expensive parking (or expensive ubering), etc 2. Flying is expensive 3. As we get older, we tolerate less inconvenience - Flying is one huge inconvenience[/quote] You sound like my ILs. They have all the time in the world and plenty of money, but travel is such a pain to them that they rarely visit. They got their grandkid fix from his siter and her kids that lived nearby and have been content to see ours the 1x year we visit. Flying with young kids is a PITA too and annual leave is limited so we can't manage more than that, although they complain more now because the other grandkids are off to college and their grandparent bucket is no longer full.[/quote]
