[quote=Anonymous]My Mom put a nursery in her house when my brother and I had kids. Stocked mostly with the books and some other stuff from when we were kids, plus a new changing pad on an old dresser, blackout shades, a new upholstered glider, etc. Actually pretty helpful. They live in the same town so basically just used it for diaper changing, but my (preschool age) kids still use it on visits and love having 'their' space. And *I* love having a space in my parents house without anything fragile/irreplacable/etc. Plus it's kind of nice to only have to back a basic travel bag. Sure there's transportable baby gear, but transporting it is still a PITA. Like you we also recently moved further away, and although I now come to their house with less frequency, it's for longer duration. An while you're a few weeks out from this, Camp Grandma can be a WONDERFUL thing. In your situation I'd also wonder if there were some emotional transfer going on. Retiring is a pretty big life transition, and your Mom may still be processing that. Oh - and I totally get waiting to tell your Mom about the move. We moved cross-country and to the town my ILs live in. That's a tough pill for my Mom to swallow, so no way I was bringing up the possibility before it was certain.[/quote]
