I see you live in a rarified environment.<br><br>
What if the parents are not observant? What if they live very far
<br>
away? What if one has a large family, and it is easier for the
<br>
parents to come to their child rather than schlepping a brood to
them.<br><br>
I have a friend whose parents never wanted their kids and <br>
grandchildren to come to eat at their home. They preferred to eat
in <br>
their basement on Pesach rather than go to their son for
Sedarim.<br><br>
