Default Re: Leaving the grandkids

I struggle with this question also. I only have one grandchild (18 mo. old boy) but I only get to see him now, maybe, every few months. They live an 1.5 hrs. away and are too busy working (fast pace jobs) to do much visiting. So, I usually drive down to see them. The way I figure it, as he gets older, I may see him more IF I move to TV. My other three kids live in other states too so right now, I only see one of my four, maybe once a week. It's hard to break away but I can't stay here just for that reason. My problem is leaving my ailing mom, dad, aunt. That's why I may buy in the spring/summer (to get a good price now), bite the bullet on mortgage payments (I rent up here in NJ) and move there when I feel the timing is right. On and on I could go. Life is full of hard decisions, isn't it?? Cheers.
