[quote=Anonymous]My DH lives 8 min away and sees her three sons an average of 45-50 times a year. She makes her sons come for every single holiday family event holidays and even nonevents and she shows up with food or trinkets for the kids. So literally almost every week. Her expectation of mandatory attendance drives me batshit crazy, we fought a ton over the ten years of marriage over this subject. But guess what. She did raise three good sons and my DH truly enjoys all this frequent interaction. The other two sons don’t make it to all, but still at least 40 times a year. Whereas I as a daughter live an ocean away, I call only two to three times a month, and due to the distance and plane tix costing my parents $3,500 to come to us, and $6,500 for us four to go visit, we only see each other once a year for loner stays. There are exceptions to the stereotypes, OP. [/quote]
