Ironically, my husband's parents whom we are close to have 8 other grandkids besides my three, whereas my parents have none.Miss Welcomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539794668863414776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539171311271334164.post-45123269329739136622010-04-13T08:46:55.876-07:002010-04-13T08:46:55.876-07:00When I was a child in HK, I absolutley loved havin...When I was a child in HK, I absolutley loved having my grandparents come out to stay. I didn't feel I lost out on seeing them as a child, although they may have felt differently as children change and grow up so quickly.<br /><br />My boys only have 2 grandpas - my father has been out to visit though and talks regularly to us on Skype. My father in law is also coming in a couple of weeks.nappy valley girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788949037047084412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539171311271334164.post-36755728615756693792010-04-13T02:45:37.126-07:002010-04-13T02:45:37.126-07:00Totally agree with you on the closer bonds; and Sk...Totally agree with you on the closer bonds; and Skype is amazing for keeping those going.

She'd come and stay for a week, whereas when we'd lived 45 mins away, we saw her for an afternoon once a week. It felt much more leisurely, having her to stay. Bit different here, though. Haven't seen her for 2 years.Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.com
