[quote=Anonymous]My MIL did this and it’s great. It worked because she completely has her own life and community, but is also close enough to do tons of stuff with us (kids sports games, family dinners, holidays, occasional babysitting). Of all the friends I know who have this arrangement where it actually works, there are a few common factors: - parents have their own house, generally at least 15 minutes away, but less than an hour - parents have their own life and community - for many older people this seems to be a retirement community or country club, but could really be anything - set understanding of what’s expected… twice monthly Sunday dinners? Once a week pick up kids and do something fun? Once a quarter date night babysitting? Once a month sleepover at grandparents? [/quote]
