[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to say that I'm also curious about how much the busy West Coast doctor brother calls?  Does he get a pass because he is a guy, a doctor, on the west coast (although the phone lines do stretch across the country, so that shouldn't matter)[/quote]

OP Here my brother calls my parents normally every Sunday, he is a busy surgeon with 3 young kids but despite his life and chaos is actually very thoughtful. Always sending them something or thinking of them someway. He invites them there all the time but they cannot go and travel as they used to (mothers health). He is as perplexed and actually angry with our sister as I am. He thinks its incredibly selfish.

I am not saying that every family must follow a certain formula of how many times to call but come on.....months? I am sorry you will never convince me that is OK. It is wrong. Not visiting them for MONTHS when she only lives 15 away? Nor will you be able to convince me that, that is OK too. She doesn't' even have young kids, 2 are grown and one is a senior. NO EXCUSE. And yes it pisses me off. I am several states away and doing what I can and feel lilke I make up for what she DOESN'T do.....they are older and lonely and it breaks my heart because I know how much it hurts them.

Just because I do not agree with some of you I do appreciate you taking the time to offer your perspective.[/quote]
