[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are foreigners and are part of the international community in DC, who usually has grandparents living abroad in people's home countries. If there's enough money and health, distance is not a problem. When one or both are missing, then distance becomes a problem. And when it comes to eldercare at a distance when all able-bodied younger relatives are far away - there is a HUGE problem. So please have a little more humility and respect, OP, for adverse situations in life. [/quote] This. And no, you cannot hop on a plane to have lunch with your kids / grandkids or to babysit. But could drive for that for a couple of hours. It’s just not the same - having the ability for daily interaction (all else being equal).[/quote]
