Sounds more like they are just more involved in their own lives but do visit:

In the Meryl Streep film about the former PM ‘The Iron Lady’, which opens in Britain next week, Carol is a regular at her mother’s home. In real life, the reverse is true. Although Carol made a flying trip to see her mother the week before Christmas, she can go six months without visiting.
