Your planned comprimise to spend 3-4 months in PA and the rest of the year here in TV is completely fair and reasonable. The younger generation should be a bit more selfless and think of your happiness during your retirement years. Plus, as others have said, they're going to enjoy their visits here and ultimately see your point of view. This assumes that both you and your wife are in agreement with the snowbirding plan. To have a happy marriage, any big decision takes two yesses or one no. This means husband and wife......NOT any other generation.
