Hi Everyone. When we get married I suppose that is the time that we form our own lives.

With work increasing and being newly married im not finding much time to see my family, and of cause a dispute involving my wife and sister makes it even harder to organise something.

What i want to know is, is it right to let go of family? Do we all do it at some stage? when do parents become a phone call rather then a visit?

I have my own life and am finding it hard to actually let go and "move on" if you will, from my family. My parents know im busy, but on my time off the last thing i want to do is actally go visit them. I would much rather the time with my wife. Am i being selfish in my ways

Any advice would be great.

no, i don't think you are being selfish. i have gotten to the point where phonecalls are about all i have time for with my family. there are plenty of things that have to be done around the home and with the kids and wife. i visit when i have the time but i do keep in touch with the phone or e-mail.

No, you are not being selfish. They should understand since they had to break the apron strings with their own parents. You need to concentrate the bulk of your effort on your own wife and family.

Thanks alot for your replys. It makes me feel alot better knowing that its just the normal way of life.
