[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm on the receiving end of this.  Very disappointed that my able bodied, retired mom won't visit.  I understand about not wanting to drive but have offered to pay her airfare and host her.   She's happy enough to have us visit but won't make the effort to come here.  But "us" going there is a much bigger production due to multiple children, having to take and coordinate vacation and child care arrangements.  It's frustrating, but she just won't budge. She would rather spend the holidays alone than travel.  I think she is anxious about traveling alone, but still...[/quote]

My mom lives 10 minutes away and always claims she is buys.  I am so pissed we bought a small crappy home near her per her wishes vs. moving out with a nice house.  So, even if they were close, they may not see you.  My mom can travel with her partner all the time to see his kids, host his kids/grandkids, etc.  So, I stopped making the effort too.   OP, you will lose them if you don't make an effort.  They have visited, your turn.[/quote]
