situation occurs to a lot of us that live far and close to loved ones,
[QUOTE=Michael G.;2089447]My wife and I have one adopted son with our daughter-in-law living close by here in Florida. Our son and wife treat my wife and I wonderful in so many ways to mention.
The four of us travel a lot, play cards, and spent a lot of time together. Wife and I where never blessed with grandchildren and wondered about people here in Florida that just pulled up stakes and left their sons, daughters and young grandchildren some were miles out of state. Do you feel a void part of your life by missing them dearly and being part of their lives? Do you wish you lived closer to enjoy them besides a occasional phone call or visit? A lot of loved ones abandon family whether they live far or close because they are engrossed in personal problems and and make excuses not to see their grandparents. Or if they do they want to be compensated to do so, so sad that we are in different time generation were money plays a great apart in family life. A lot of obvious negative thing have happened that have made this happen within in the last 5 years. all around us |

Well we’re in a situation like you. We are originally from Ohio & live in Texas now. Our daughter & her married family live in Texas too. Our son & his family are still in Ohio. We had a realtor look for a house for us in Ohio (Lima, Oh. area) for 3 yrs. never got a call about any house, so our daughter wanted us to live close to her, so we live there now. It’s a little better now because we only have to go see our son & his married daughter, & his son. But now our situation is gas prices & prices of everything else that Putin started, LOL. We love both our children very much, I’m sure our son & his family feel cheated & might think we love our daughter more. Don’t know what to tell you other than go & see them as much as you can & vise versa!

Grandkids care about Grandparents until they're about 7.Then it's "what did you bring me" Kids are kids. They like to be with other kids. It totally blows my mind that people move back ( to a cold climate) to be with a 4 year old grandkid. They change their entire lives around a kid who , at that time, loves Grandma and Grandpa. Give it another 3 years or so and you are not really that important to them. Live YOUR life. You worked hard for it. Don't live for your kids or grandkids. ENJOY YOUR LIFE.
