We have proposed doing a reverse snow bird where we would spend 3 or 4 months in PA in the summer time while the kids are off from school. The parents were not thrilled with us moving away and have not been very supportive.
Would love to hear some opinions on this subject.
Thank you

My wife and I are in our late 50s. Primary home in PA, 2nd home in TV.
All4 of our parents we VERY involved wtih our kids, as they were growing up.
When we first visited the Villages, we BOTH said our parents should have bought there and spent time there - the grandparents would be in much better shape emotionally, physically, etc, if they spent winters more active.
When we are in FLA in Jan, we see couples the same age as our parents, out all day, being active, and our parents are at home, in the cold on their iPad.
Personally, your compromise snowbirding, being in PA from April to Christmas will allow you to enjoy many more years with your grandkids.
