My children are 3 and 4. My parents have decided to move a 12 hour flight away for a better lifestyle and climate. They are taking my 85 year old grandmother with them. We have no other family around us. Part of me is happy for them, they’ve raised their family and now want to do what they want. But part of me feels we’re second to good weather. We have never needed them for child care as I am a stay at home mum. I’m so upset that they won’t have a day to day connection with my children. Family is important to me and I feel let down and sad for my children. No idea what we would do in an emergency. I thought they would love being grandparents and be really involved. But it seems not.
