[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We always pay for travel home. We are grateful they are willing to take vacation days to spend time with us. [/quote]

This^^^

We pay for travel to/from us, for family vacations (and once there is a SO/Spouse/partner we will pay for them and grandkids as well).  In response, our oldest finds out when younger sibling (4 years behind in college still) is home (also cross country) and plans to come the same 4 day weekends.  Also plans to come home when sibling spring break is .  It's work for the oldest as they cannot just work remotely---they have limited "work from home days" and have to plan accordingly.  But we have seen them 40+ days in the last year, between vacations, family weddings, and them coming to visit and us visiting them (only 3 days was us traveling to them).

Figure as long as we pay, they will likely continue to come as much as they can (it would be costly to fly 4-5 times per year otherwise as a 25 yo just starting out).  No strings attached---they just know we always pay for them so it's not a financial burden [/quote]
