Do you find it hard on how much time you visit your parents

Well, I mean like if your parents are divorced and they are living in seperate houses of course. Do you find it hard to visit each one. Well, because my husband and I went to my home town for a few days to visit my mother and other family members as well as my dad. We live six hours away and we can't see them every chance we get, due to my husband working and for finances on trying to rent a car and getting gas money. When I went home, I went to visit my best friend for awhile, because my mother was in a meeting and would not be home for awhile. So when we had arrived to my mothers house later on that evening, we visited with her and then we told her we'd go see my dad for a few hours and then we would return, because we would be staying the night at my mom's house. Well, when she was like you're going to visit your dad. She didn't seem too happy about it and she got all sad. I begin to feel like she didn't want me to visit him and she would get upset. Sometimes it would make me feel guilty and not want to go visit him at all. My husband felt the same way and saw the expression change when we mentioned that we'd be visiting him. We went though and then we'd figure that we'd spend the other days visiting other family members as well as spending most of the time with my mother. Well, we did just that. And now my dad got upset because we only spent a few hours or so with him. Its hard you know, to set a part a time to spend with each parent. Does any one else who have divorced parents feel this way too and find it harder especially when you live further away. The reason I spent more time with my mother is because my husband and I are closer to my mother then is my father and that is a whole nother story, that i'd rather not get into.
