I think you are thinking of that window of time where your kids are "adults", but do not yet have any obligations to a spouse, a spouse's family, or any children.  This is when they are most likely to visit for holidays or bring friends with them.  [b]Now buy yourself a giant beach house, and you may just in fact have visitors quite often![/b][/quote]

I wish my in laws had this. Instead, I am stuck visiting your typical TX rambler in sprawling suburbia where 7 of us (3 adults and 4 kids-my BIL lives there with his 2 teen children) share 1 bathroom because the 2nd one is in the master where grandma sleeps, we all have to share rooms, and the bedroom doors have no locks. Oh, and we are stuck there if the 2 people with cars are working and it isn't walking distance to anything. I am forced to do this for a week every year. By the time we've paid for the ridiculously expensive cost of flying 4 of us, we can't really shell out for a week at a hotel or a rental vehicle. I really dislike the holidays for this reason, but I do it so my husband doesn't divorce me.

My parents come to us. It is so much easier that way.[/quote]

NP. I’m hoping that my kids (teens) don’t move away so we can get together for family dinners with guests driving a short distance back to their own homes. In my opinion our society has gotten too transient, and living near family should be prioritized more. [/quote]
