[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another point of view, Op, I think time feels different for folks as they get older. I'm an older person. Sure they miss you. Sure they wish to see you, but, "where has the time gone?" I don't think you see it, and that's ok, but the planning and the sense of urgency that planning requires to make an event actually happens, takes more "umph" than you realize. This, however, is not to say you have to bend to their wishes. Tell them how you need the visiting schedule to work. Trust that they will understand. You may just have to say it a few times for it to sink in (again, an older person's problem)[/quote] My parents have the “umph” to travel internationally, but lack the “umph” to visit me and their grandkids. They whine about me visiting them though. Know your old people.[/quote]
