As a grandmother, I have had my grandkids sleep over starting very young. And then I traveled with them too, to take them to visit their great grandparents. The older child's first visit out of state was when she was 4 months old, and the younger child's first out of state visit was when he was about 6 months old. Both did fine and travel with me all the time to see their great grandparents and their mom has no issue whatsoever with allowing me to take either child, whether together or separately
Wow, you must have been a young mother. Your children must also be young parents. I don't know very many people who actually have greats anymore.
The young ages of parenting may play a role in this for you and yours. Honestly, it sounds sweet and kind of old fashioned. I don't know anyone IRL who would allow the access and traveling that you describe having with your grandchildren. Not in this day and age and not in a large city.
