Dear Queenie,
My husband and I live quite some distance from both of our families. Our problem is that they complain that we don’t come home to visit them often enough.
We visit them for Christmas and Easter and one or two more times every year, but that uses up most of our vacation time, not to mention the expense. On the other hand, they almost never come here to visit us, it’s always us that have to go to see them.
Queenie, should we be doing more?—Feeling guilty
Dear Feeling guilty,
Lose the guilt. You are doing more than your fair share of the visiting. Any time your families complain, tell them it is their turn to come to visit you and you will be happy to see them when (if) they do so.
