Cute, but in all reality, that is so true in some families, after the children leave home, many don't think about the elderly parents on holidays or any other time as far as that goes, unless they need money. Many are way too busy with their own lives and don't have time for their parents, such a shame. DB and I always loved spending every holiday or any other time we could with our parents, sadly, they are both gone now, and we do not have that pleasure. DH and I are going to DD's tomorrow, and our son will not be able to get home until late Jan, due to his work. Not because he doesn't want to, but he works in retail, and only has the one day off, - he lives 500 miles away.
