We find that our children and grandchildren lead busy lives and we try not to impose on them. We try to visit at least once a year but find that they are so busy that we rarely get a chance to see them. There are lots of ways to keep in touch with cell phones, social media, Skype, etc. We do not worry about it and enjoy the time we do get to spend together. If we were in a traditional house, we would not be living where they live anyway.
