If you have adult children do you see them as often as you’d like ? If not do you feel hard done by ?

Just saw an advert to an article. About a parent of a grown up son who doenst see him hardly ever and she says she’s embarrassed that she hardly sees him

I’ve only got an adult child at uni so we still see a lot of each other so I guess you sometimes have to wait till they are 20plus and working etc to see how it all pans out etc

No I don’t and no I don’t feel hard done by. I’m very happy that they’re living great lives. I’m in the UK and have one in the US and one in Japan.

I have three of them living over 3 hours drive away and one still at home. Just back from a weekend visiting eldest DS for the first time in his own home rather than him coning to us. It all ended up being a bit stressful ( just the chaos him and his gf live in ) and to be honest I was glad to be home ! not sure I'll be travelling four hours again anytime soon. the other two are students so a bit different as they are home for the holidays.

No and no.

he’s super busy doing a masters.

I have four adult children (late 20s- early 30s...all very close in age)
Youngest lives with us ... has autism and is unlikely to live independently
No 3 lives 5 mins drive away, and I see her most days as I look after the grnadchildren a few days a week.
No 1 lives 200 miles away and we see her roughly every 6 weeks or so, but she rings at least 4 times a week for a chat.
No 2 met an Aussie here, now married and lives in Australia. We've just had two glorious weeks there with them, and they will come here next year. We video call every month or so when one of us remembers , or he just facetimes for a chat.

I don't expect any particular level of contact, but they are all fond of each other and us, and our Whatsapp group is always busy :)

I have one at uni and one living in a different city. We probably travel to see them more now than they come home to us now.

Both are looking at moving overseas and I’m very happy to encourage that.

I’ve got one who lives 100 miles away and I’d say on average we see each other every 4-6 weeks which is fine. We chat most days via WhatsApp just swapping recipes/tv recommendations/having a catch up though.

I think I see my two more than I like to be honest with you!!
😆 🤣 😂

My kids and adult grandchildren are past uni. I see them more than enough. A little can go a long way. 😂. I’ve got my own life going on. 🤷‍♀️
