[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow - this is amazing to me. My parents have always visited me - when I was a young 20 something living in places around the world, when I settled in DC, when I had kids, and moved them to places around the world. Now, my mom likes to stay longer than my dad, so he usually arrives with her and leaves earlier, but they probably visit us in our house at least 4-5 times per year. They have two other children and 5 other grandchildren, too (though they are all local to one another).

Even my in-laws, who hate to travel, come visit us 1-2 per year, and have as long as I've known them. We wish they'd visit more, but they really hate traveling and honestly don't put pressure on us to come to them. It's a shame because we have their only grandchildren, and they've lost a lot of the good years with them. But I can still really acknowledge the efforts they've made.

I'm really sorry for all of you on this chat (and also for your children). I find the behavior very odd.[/quote]

you are very lucky.[/quote]
