[quote=Anonymous]It is up to you if you don't want your kids to have to do this, then fine. Just keep telling them no. You can't get them to stop asking, and trying to is self-defeating. However - I actually think "making" a kid talk to grandma on the phone for 10 minutes every other week, or every week, is really reasonable. Just as it's important to eat your veggie, bathe regularly, and do your homework, it's important to be kind to family and to stay in touch with them. If you don't agree, fine. But personally - I think this is something I'd make my kids do. PARTICULARLY if grandma and auntie sends them presents with any sort of regularity, or babysits or visits or do anything else the child values. Relationships work BOTH ways, and it's important for kids to understand that. [/quote]
