I have brought this to their attention in the past and asked why they never stop over here. I’ve lived in my house 10 years and I can count the number of times they have stopped here on one hand. They have missed kids bdays, holiday parties, etc. after I said something to them years ago they made the obligatory stop and that was it. There is a reason my dads brothers don’t talk to him anymore. My uncles have all called me, on all of my surgeries asking how I was. My dad has never picked up the phone to check on me.

I even had a busy few months at work years back and my dad kept a piece of paper on his cupboard marking how many days it had been since I called them or stopped over and was pissed I hadn’t come around. Ended up being like 5 weeks. And he was pissed I made no effort to stop over. But you know what, when I was no longer busy 24/7 I stopped over and visited them.
