[quote=Anonymous]I do think people get more self-centered as they age, because it is often posted about here and discussed among my friends as they share what their elderly parents are like. What it comes down to is unfortunately we can’t always get the family relationships we want. We can’t make people give more than they choose to. All you can do is make opportunities for more reciprocal relationships and decide whether the effort is worth it. I found that i feel best when I fulfill what feels like dutiful obligations (regular brief visits and me helping with practical things my parents can’t do on their own like technology). We do vacations and more reciprocal things with my best friend’s family.[/quote]
