[quote=Anonymous]I have a set time that I call my dad once a week. It is on the way home from somewhere and we only talk for 20-30 minutes, but it means the world to him. I think that wiuld work well for your dad. Maybe on your commute home from work one night, etc. As for the other half of the family, just start inviting them to stuff you already do. Family movie night (you were going to order pizza and watch a movie with the kids anyway), kids' games/recitals, meet you at the pool, etc. jus take a look at the things you do regularly and the shoot them and email inviting them to SOMETHING once a week when they are around. When they are gone, have the kids call on the way to/from various activities, and don't stress the length of your summer visit.[/quote]
