[quote=Anonymous]Same problem here. I called my brother not long ago and his 5yo daughter (my only niece!!) yelled, "hey dad, it's that lady on the phone." I almost started crying! My brother and I are only a year apart and were always very close, but his kids barely remember me. My kids adore their cousins even though they hardly see them. I try to remember this might not be very different if we lived nearby - they are very social, the kids have lots of close family friends who get called 'Uncle' and 'Aunty' and they only see our other siblings in the area on an occasional basis. Still, it seems unfortunate. My kids are at the age where they feel really shafted at Xmas when it's just us, and there's not much I can do (other than spend thousands on plane fare every month or two) to avoid that. [/quote]
