We have two sets of aging parents who are firmly entrenched here, but as I mentioned, we've asked our kids to break the cycle.
MGD often shakes his fist at his ancestors for settling here - (we hate the cold!)..."Ach! Wenzel....it's just like the olt country!" he imagines them saying, to which MGD replies, "the old country SUCKED or you wouldn't have left!" LOL
Sadly, I live in WI, too:)
