I remind myself that although living abroad put distance between my children and their grandparents, when they did see each other it was quality time because they'd usually be together for a whole week or more rather than just an hour or two. Yes, they'd come bearing gifts, but as you point out, it wasn't a regular occurrence.

The kids say she’s not like other nans 😅 They treat her like an oversized mate.

Yes, that is my situation, too, Jane. Intense periods of fun 😊
