I was at my sister's yesterday for a bit of a BBQ, given the good weather. Within minutes of me arriving, my niece came into the kitchen and demanded to know why I hadn't seen her in months. Four months actually. She wasn't wrong, but I think I've posted about this frustration before: if I don't make the effort, I don't see anyone, even family.
"You know where I live. What stopped you coming down to see me?" I quipped.
My niece made some excuses.
"Well, you can't expect me to always come and see you if you never make the effort."
This was said in a light tone, but it wasn't really directed at her. My sister and brother-in-law were also in the kitchen.
I don't know if it landed, but only time will tell.
