does it help that we will never see my sister and her family unless we fly them out and maybe not then?

[melkahb]

Not necessarily. I like them.

It's the principle of the thing, really.

having grown up somewhere other than the epicentre of my relatives, i'm very much familiar with the "it's farther from there to here than it is from here to there phenomenon". if i had good solutions, i would proceed to offer them. :-/

The GOOD solution is that sometimes they get on a g-ddamn plane. :) If you come up with any REALISTIC solutions, however, I'm all ears.

You have my total support on the visiting equation. I understand. My brother, based on Long Island, has visited me once in the 15 years I've lived in Seattle. Once...and that was only after deployment of the nuclear option, a.k.a. Jewish guilt. I've been back an average of every two years or so. It's frustrating. It's infuriating. You're not alone, my friend. Not a bit.

If _they_ desire to see you , then _they_ need to get their asses on transport to go see you.

Barring that, fuck 'em. You're not their fairy godmother.

The East knows it's the center of universe, and therefore we should go to it. That's the only explanation I can think of. With the exception of near-death circumstances, my relatives don't fly out here either. Not even for my wedding. Even when I've offered to pay for younger cousins. It's simply unthinkable. This is Mars. That's civilization.
