Grand kids are wonderfulllll.... until they get over 12 years old. Then it starts. They want to hang with kids there own ages, they want to avoid contact with adults. They don't want the grand parents hanging around (unless we are paying) then "can you just pay and go have coffee?"
They have lives and they will grow up and move to get the job they want or the college or the wife/husband they want... If you stay for years and wait until they get BIG then you are going to end up with Great Grand Kids that will again stop you from your goals of seeing the world.
Just go and if you HAVE TO then fly them out during the summer and back when school starts. DO NOT LIVE YOUR LIFE FOR THE KIDS....
