Can I have some advice pls , I live 80 miles away from my daughter and 2 grandchildren aged 9 and 6 , I find the journey to see then very tiring now and really would love to see my granddaughters more often and be a bigger part of there life , but my daughter is very domernering and we seem to argue over little things even when I do see them which is ruining my visits . SHOULD I Move to be closer or just leave things as they are , Even thou she would prefer me closer CONFUSED

Do you want to move? If you are happy where you are then your daughter should be making the effort to visit you and realise your difficulties.
If it is the relationship with your daughter that is the difficulty then will this improve with you being nearer?
