of three and the only girl. My husband started making a fair amount of money about ten years ago and my parents stopped visiting us (we live in the Midwest and they are in the West). I've tried to be as affectionate as possible, not be arrogant but nothing works. My kids are very high achievers. National Merit Finalists, serious students, respectful, not nerdy. But they never visit them, never remember their birthdays. Instead they are constantly visiting my brothers and their families. Their kids are a mess. Not attending college, poor students, wrecking cars. My brothers have not done too well financially. I think I understand the problem but it really hurts me. I feel so sad that my parents seem to not have wanted me to have success in life. No matter how nice I am to them they simply never call, never visit. Why is this bothering me so much? They're in their eighties. Sometimes I go through very sad periods over this, lots of private tears.
