[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - are you a doormat in other aspects of your life?[/quote]

OP here.  No, I'm not actually.  I'm pretty assertive at work.  In this situation I feel like I can't say anything because if I do (and when I have hinted at it in the past) I will get pretty much the reaction I got from people on this board - You don't understand how hard it is until you have a kid, it's no big deal for you to drive an hour, my life is harder than yours, etc.

I guess I was hoping to hear that there was some line of argument that I could try that would be persuasive to parents and make them understand that I would like them to spend a little time in my life (seeing my house, neighborhood, favorite places, local park, all the things that make my world mine). I feel like they don't really know me (especially my sisters-in-law who have known me a shorter time) because they don't know me in the context of my life, only in the context of their own lives.

We may not end up having kids, so this is the live we have and it is important to us just the way it is.
