Not very many grandparents would want to raise children again, that's for sure. I "hear you".
With ours that live out west, they come once a year; deleting the two travel days (from and back to the airport) the amount of time with us is approximately four full days , plus the two travel days.
Regarding the ones that live in the same state but three hours away, they come for long weekends. It used to be 4 times a year; now is less as they are all so involved with so many activities.
We go up to see them several times in the spring/summer. Winter travel is not easy up here.
However, we are all looking forward to two full weeks at the Maine seacoast for all three families this coming summer........I rented a great place with lots of kid friendly activities plus lesiurely days at the beach.
Huge home with room for all.
No one has ever stayed for 30 days....and I doubt very very much if Florida would change things in that respect. What do they say about company after three days????????????
