[quote=Anonymous]I am depressed about this too. We talk about it constantly in my family, because DH and I are from different countries, and we have two kids. A trip to Europe for us is $6,000 just for airfare. Add in other costs, and it becomes a $10K trip just to see one family. This is one reason why now that I have 2 kids, we try to get people to come to us. The other reason is that I can not get excited about getting on a plane with two small kids:)

I give my parents money, but the two of them traveling to see us is still cheaper for me than the other way. My parents just visited from Europe, and we only paid about 530 Euro per ticket. They traveled on Christmas Eve and stayed almost a month for the airfare to work out so low. DH is about to take our toddler to see his grandfather for the first time. DD and I will be staying here since she is in school but also because we can't all afford to go. That is the other thing we do - we split up for vacations. Which brings me to the most depressing part - we never have real vacations as a family, since we spend our money visiting our home countries.
