[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP here. I'm extremely frustrated not getting to see my family more. [b]But it was my choice in moving here far from them.[/b] I also shouldn't hold it against DH's family that they live closer and we can see them more often. Our normal compromise is that we see DH's family for 90% of holidays (but rarely use annual leave), but every other Christmas when we see my family we travel for 9 days (to make the tickets worth it). DH's family hasn't ever stayed at our home, but my parents do visit us a few times a year and stay with us. [/quote] Sounds like they are making you feel very guilty. If your parents hadn't said they were lonely, would you still be unhappy with the arrangement? Or is this a case of you shouldering the happiness burden for everyone?[/quote]
