When siblings disagree about preserving ubuntu values across distance

My brother and I moved to different continents for work but we're trying to raise our kids with ubuntu values, and whenever we video call for family time, we end up arguing about whether we're doing enough to keep our children connected to home and each other. We both feel like we're failing our ancestors and our children at the same time.
