Go get that baby. Set the standard that you trust her and always have her back. She’ll know she can call later when she is a teenager and in a place where she is uncomfortable. [/quote]

Yessssssss.

Similar to the poster who was stressed out in college. I called my mom on a Sunday afternoon and told her that my husband said he was leaving me, and the babies were napping, she packed up stuff and left. My mother was on a plane in less than two hours. I will never forget that for the rest of my life. And I will be back up for my children just like she was for me [/quote]

That is completely different. Your marriage ending when you have babies is a huge ordeal.

A kid being homesick or a college student being stressed is not. Parents should talk to kids and comfort them in both circumstances, but flying out to see them is way over the top. Whereas getting on a place after your daughter told you her husband is leaving makes sense. If nothing else you could provide stability for the grandchildren and give her time to get her affairs in order and talk to attorneys.[/quote]
