[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There must be something. Maybe it's bathroom related, something they find embarrassing to talk about. Sleep problems. Something.

Op, do not blow it up into them not wanting to be in your lives. Assuming the best, I guess, means, assume this is about their age and what they are actually capable of. Not what you think they are capable of.

At some point elders stop traveling. This is just coming much sooner than you ever expected. But it happens to everyone, eventually. Make peace with that.[/quote]

What? OP parents are capable and  travel, just don't travel by plane or car to OP.  That is the cycle that needs to be broken. OP wrote the parents do 10 round trip drives to the brothers, maybe 14 plus hours to Maine, fly to Florida!  These silly drivers can get a short flight to OP's area.  Selfish parents expect OP family to do a 12 hour round trip drive with 2 kids and a dog multiple times per year.

Ongoing if we were OP the dog would have 2 3 day kennel stays and the OP family would have 2 short flight 3 day visits.
