[quote=Anonymous]I have 22 month twins and haven't travelled with them because since birth one twin has had 5 surgeries. My mother came once for a week when they were two months old. I have repeatedly invites them to visit. They are well off, two pensions well off, with amazing health care. They are taking care of my own grandparents who live in a retirement community with 24 hour live in care. When I pleaded with my mother to come she told me she had her own life. They aren't close with my sister or her four kids. So they don't know them. All my mother does is buy my sister's kids clothes and toys which she mails to them. She doesn't send much of anything to my kids. My sister was shocked when I told her. Anyhow, they finally consented to visit for the kids baptism. I think you ha be to pick your battles and frankly ask yourself, do you want to invest that time in your parents? That is terrible I know but you have to make a choice at some point. [/quote]
