[quote=Anonymous]My kids are the same age and have seen their grandparents once in the past two years. They are really fun but now also really busy. They always want to see them more. I tell the kids to call, FaceTime, text them and that they can initiate contact too. They often don’t. As for visiting, we joke that grandma and grandpa are super busy with their social lives too now and acting like teenagers themselves in their retirement community down south. Not entirely a joke… But no one could easily travel the past couple of years with Covid. That’s why we only made it there once last summer. I don’t remember having a ton of quality time with my grandparents but I remember having good relationships with all. And the truth is that my kids are really busy on any average weekend with sports. My parents say they want to come see them play but they aren’t that interested in actually doing so. And that’s okay. I understand. [/quote]
