[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

My parents live in Florida,  not ready to move up this way yet, but my mom doesn't want to miss out on a relationship with her granddaughter especially since DH's family is local ( Maryland).

Mom is retired so she figures she can fly up here a week at a time get to know the  baby.

I know it sounds crazy, but this is important to her and I want my daughter to know her grandmother too,[/quote]

I'm a nanny who dealt with almost this same situation. G'ma was out pf state but was going to fly in twice a month to to keep baby and I would have that time off. I started the position in January. [b]By mid March G'ma decided she couldn't fly out here as often and stopped completely in April. The whole thing was a shit show.[/b][/quote]

I do not find this surprising at all. I can hardly get my parents to visit for more than 4 nights a few times a year. They have a life of their own and most retired grandparents do not want to give up 2 weeks a month to care for an infant. sure they may in theory, but once the reality sets in they will call it quits.
