Missing my folks
I am a woman, I have been away from my parents since 4 years and I am their only child. I visit them once a year. I am very attached to my family. Lately I have been missing my folks a lot. I just wish I could spend some long quality time with them. I keep worrying about them..especially about their health (they both have been diagnosed Cholesterol problem but are taking meds and proper care). They are around 55. I cannot visit them soon because of visa issues, and cannot call them over as I recently got married and don’t think it’s fair on my husband to call them this soon to live with us for a while. I have started worrying about them a lot lately and keep getting emotional. What can I do?💔
This will only get worse for you, I’d resolve your visa issues. If they are able to come here, you should consider that. Your husband will have to understand if he is at all supportive. The fact that you’re asking on Blind instead of talking to him about it is telling.
Do what I did. Have them over and spend some quality time. It's awkward but you finally realize how much good shit there is to share. Pay for their medical issues too, so you guys havemore years together 👍
Why can’t you talk to your husband about this?
Just curious, if the genders were reversed, would you all still be as supportive of the spouse inviting over parents? I am not making assumptions, I am genuinely asking.
It’s symmetrical. Both sides need to support parents .
Does it matter? The question is weird. The question is how? You can get/rent a place for them, I don’t think living in one house is wise. But you can afford it if you are in tech , the can come for a few months per year
Everyone gave a proper advice here. Immigration is tough
Yeah your husband must deal with it
😢💔 same boat
Call them over for a short duration.. Talk to your husband to see how long works.. If he feels it will be hard.. Then get an airbnb for a month.. Start small..
I hope my (American) kids have the same love for their parents when they’re older as you do for your parents.
Well this is horrible advice, lmao
This is a great way to get divorced
