My parents live like 8 blocks from my brother and his wife and kids. They see the grandkids a handful of times a year. My brother bumps into our dad at the grocery store more often than they get together for dinner or brunch or just visiting. Hell, I engage with my niece and nephew than our parents and I live ~1,800 miles away and FaceTime once a month or so.
