[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not everyone can afford to fly, OP. [/quote] And not everyone can "afford" to live near both sets (or any sets) of grandparents. Adults/cou0ples make choices about where to live based on Job opportunities, environment for raising kids, etc. We live in a VHCOL area. One kid has landed after college in a great area/MCOL and loves it there. Sure it's a 2 flight from us (or a 2.5 hour drive and then one flight) but we would never complain about that---they have found the job they love and can afford to live without our assistance (that would not be likely in our area). They have saved over $100K in 4 years towards a downpayment for a home. They are making a life for themselves and if we want to see them (and any future grandkids) we will fly to them and/or pay for them to fly to us. [/quote]
