I rarely get visits from my adult children. I know they had jobs and their own lives now. If they would visit once a month I would make myself content with that. I am a good mother. Does anybody feel like they don't see their adult kids enough?

[Fr_Chuck]

Do you have any problems with them, how close do they live to you. Do they call you often

[simoneaugie]

Maybe you could arrange for them to spend certain holidays with you, like Thanksgiving and Easter. If they are resistant to family gatherings, find out why. Maybe you should visit at their house. Remind them that even though they have busy lives, it's important to stay connected.

[Sir Guengerich]

I am not you age, but perhaps I could give some insight.
My father and I have become very close and he will be 70 this month. Though his health is a major concern. I am not his natural son. I call him everyday (sometimes4-6 times) His biological children rarely call him or visit unless they need something from him. He says that the loss is that of his children since he's made every effort to have a relationship with them.

One day they might wake up and realize, a phone call a day
Is all one needs. It just takes a few minutes each day. It seems that people are so busy... I think it has something to do with them thinking you will always be around and some times there is no tomarrow. When you talk to them ask them to call you at least every other week. Express to them how you feel and perhaps you might get the desired results.
