[quote=Anonymous][quote]I am not really caught up on the idea of fairness. I don't think that we shouldn't make the biggest effort (I shouldn't have used that word in my original post) but I do think that we shouldn't have to make the only effort. We redid our kitchen nine months ago and five of these women have never seen it even though I have offered to have them over and make lunch for the kids multiple Saturdays.

I would just like them to show some sort of interest in my life and I think I have crossed the line into being a pushover.[/quote]
Aw...maybe they just care more about you than about your new kitchen. :) (Though I would love to see your new kitchen! I love kitchen remodels!)

OP, I wonder if the problem isn't just the traveling but that it just seems like they're not interested in your life overall. When you do make these visits, do you feel like they're engaged with your visit? Or are you just a third wheel while they run after the kids? Because you can be interested in someone's life even if you can't physically be near them all the time.

It sounds like they're making you feel like you're not that important ASIDE from the fact that you have to travel to see them. And that's a bit of a different issue, one that might not be fixed even if they were able to visit you every weekend.[/quote]
