The best thing that happened for me and my wife,
and that we strongly advocate to our children...

Live at least 1k miles from the parents.
(Glad to see them come... glad to see them leave)

We've only been 33% effective and we really enjoy seeing the G-kids,
but even 100 miles has been close enough to involve us parents
with day-to-day problems that are not really our business.

My Dad appears to be slipping the chains of reason again over the last couple of days. It is irritating, but then again if he had no local kids he'd have ended up in a home by now. I'd be in a similar frame-of-mind as Sundae if we were under the same roof. I don't think I could handle it...
