[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As you get older, travelling, even the easiest route, is not easy anymore. You get tired, more than the younger person, and usually take longer time to recover, even when we're healthy and wealthy. Why can't the younger generation understand that. We done it in our youth. We got the final say when we're older, whether we can to travel or not. Because in the end we are the one who suffers the body ache etc.[/quote]

Most people on this thread are saying they understand that some older people feel this way (by the way, many older people do not).  No problem, of course then don't travel.  However, than don't expect to see your adult children and their families much if they live reasonably far away.  That's what people are pointing out to the OP.  You, the older generation, are presumably retired and free time to travel at off (cheaper) times, travel leisurely, etc.  The younger generation does not.  You, the older generation, are one or two people at most and can pay for plane tickets or hotel rooms accordingly.  Sorry, but I can't afford 5 plane tickets to visit you and 2 hotel rooms because your house is tiny more than 1x every 1-2 years.

And in my case, at least, truly no hard feelings.  But it's just leading very separate lives.  That's all anyone is pointing out to the OP.[/quote]
Dude, she has two teenagers and animals at home who need her. Hardly a life of leisure. [/quote]
