[quote=Anonymous]OP, I get what you're saying and if it is an ideal situation then yes it is easy to be envious. My brother lives less than 2mi from my parents, who elected to retire near him and his family. They babysit my two nieces one full day per week and are as flexible as they can be about pinch-hitting. They also see the kids multiple times a week, meet at the pool for playtime and dinner after the kids are out of school. My brother and SIL often get date nights or weekends away. This only works because my parents are very active and involved grandparents with a good relationship with my brother. I wish for my kids' sake that we had the same situation. I know it's the unicorn, but it does exist in my family so it's hard not to be a tad envious or at least a bit sad for my own kids, not to mention nice knowing you have the extra support.[/quote]
