My parents won’t come visit us in CA

When I went to college for computer programming, I never believed it would change my life.

I loved coding and programming and I was really good.

My professor noticed my work and told me about an internship for twitter for San Francisco. The paid internship was a big deal and my professor guaranteed the spot for me. My wife was surprised by the news that I wanted to uproot our life and move to the west coast, but she never questioned the decision for a minute. I love that about her. She is so incredibly supportive. After moving to San Francisco, our life has been drastically different. We never lived in the city before now. We lived on a dirt road in the middle of farm country. My parents still live in the same house that I grew up in. They grow corn, potatoes, and tomatoes. They have never left the state of Nebraska. When my wife and I told them that we were going to move to California, they called us sellouts and got angry. I know they were upset to lose us, but they took the news really hard. We have lived here for five years and they haven’t bothered to visit even one time. My wife and I have even offered to pay for the plane tickets and hotel room. They think the city is filled with pot smokers and drug dealers. They know the place has recreational cannabis sales and that’s all they ever talk about. They think everyone in the city is a recreational cannabis smoker, just because it is available.
