[quote=Anonymous]It's great for you that this seems to be working out, but I can't help gasping at the enormous financial and environmental cost of having your mom fly to/from over and over.  Couldn't that money be put toward something that would help society or something?  I don't mean to be a downer, and I'm sure your mom's relationship with her grandbaby is important, but wow.  Just step back and look at this for a minute.  And is your mom insecure to the point that she feels she needs to do this?  Wouldn't it be better to work out some other arrangement where she visits frequently?

FWIW, my MIL is local and mom lives on the West Coast.  We see MIL about 2 times a week and my mom about 4 times a year, max.  My kids love BOTH of their grandmas a TON and in different ways.  They get so excited about seeing my mom because it's so different, and they do a lot together when they visit because it's such a special, intense time.  There are shorter, less intense visits with my MIL.  It works out fine.[/quote]
