It is a double-edge. I kind of get disappointed we don't see them more though, as we always have a good time and interesting conversations when we meet. It would be nice to have them drop by for a glass of wine more often - as it gives me a reason to have a glass :)
But... too familiar can wear thin.
Yeah, I can see that. We moved a little closer to my parents a while ago and now it is pretty rare for people to come visit us. That extra 10 minute drive is just too far I guess. Good thing my wife and I get along well!
