[quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of unanswered questions here...

How long has your mom lived in her current home? Very strange that the grandkids have never visited.

Is this a covid thing? Has frequency of visits changed in the last year due to covid? Maybe in-laws and bros family bubble together, especially if in-laws help a lot with the kids. Also is your mom higher risk than in-laws etc.

You talk a lot about socioeconomic issues but didn’t really provide any examples. How exactly does that factor in?

Also, how often DOES your mom see them? Growing up, we had one set of grandparents in town, one 2hrs away. We saw the in town side (dad’s) weekly, the other side every few months- give or take. Of course we saw the local side more. No one ever thought it was strange. When my kids were small we lived 2hrs from my in-laws and saw them around the same- every few months (usually for an overnight visit). Again, that wasn’t thought of as strange. 90min-2hrs is still quite a trip...requiring either an overnight or spending half the day in the car. I think different families have different takes on what is a “normal” amount of visiting.
