My SIL's job is dependent on being in Europe; he deals in Euro bonds. He was originally from Canada and only stayed in London/UK because of his job and had married my daughter.
I am very close to my only 2 year old GS- am the only official babysitter- and my DD has only recently become pregnant again.
They now say they will have to move to Canada. Which is completely the right thing to do for them, but I'm so sad today that they will move to another country. My DH is retired and spends most of his time gardening and looking after our dog. He's not as close to our GS and I find him becoming more insular and crusty.
I know many families live far afield and all say one gets used to it. Do they really cope with these distanes and how can the GC continue to have a close relationship with GPs living so far and whom they see so infrequently?
