This is all well and good if you actually like your parents. There are reasons people leave home and never come back. Not all relationships with them are going to be the loving fairy tales one sees on TV.
- LVB 4y agoYeah I’m in this situation. Parents are couple hours away by plane and we might see them once a year if that, mainly so the kids have some knowledge of their grandparents. The visits tend to get ugly, quickly, so they have to be carefully choreographed and usually the other party staying in a hotel. (Generally this is due to my dad’s behavior, which often will have him screaming profanities towards me or our kids.) Even the occasional Zoom calls are usually just them sitting there, nodding along, answering our forced questions. No real engagement there. Fortunately we have my wife’s warm side of the family as a counterbalance.
