[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not based on the gender of your kids but rather what you are like as a human and parent to adult children. I am one of two girls who sees my parents once a year and it's torture. My husband is one of two boys and talks to his mom on the phone regularly and when they see each other it's because they want to and they have a nice time. Start a thread about what makes people want to be around their parents as adults.[/quote] +1 I'm down to 3-4 days a year with my parents and they still manage to insult me and make me feel terrible when I go visit them, despite many conversations about them making me feel this way. It's like they cant help themselves. I'm female btw. DH has a standing 1 hour FaceTime call with his mom every Sunday and spends probably 15-20 days a year visiting. She has dementia and as her health has declined he's become more disciplined about visiting and calling. His mother lives with his brother. There are 3 boys and they are all like this.[/quote]
