How often do you see GC 1 hour away?

Nurseryrhyme, it's not a competition is it? I see a lot more of some grandchildren than others - despite them being further away - as their parents don't work on weekends.

The ones I don't see so much do come to stay in school holidays, though, so there's some balance. I'm sure that nobody's counting!

I see my almost two year old DGD once a week for 4/5 hours as a contribution to the patchwork of childcare necessary for working parents. My journey takes me two hours each way by train and bus. It would be about an hour each way by car but I am no longer able to drive.

My DGS in just coming up to 2, and my daughter lives 50 minutes away on a good day. Some weeks we see them maybe twice or three times, but then go 2-3 weeks without seeing him.

They are financially struggling, as are we, so I find if I offer to meet for a wander and lunch or invite them to Sunday lunch I see him more. We can't help much financially, but we can manage a few meals.

Would we like to see him more? Of course, but with maintaining their home, baby and toddler groups etc they have lives which we have to fit around too

I am lucky, although it probably depends on how you look at it, but my Grandsons aged 8 and 12 are 10 min away and I see them on an almost daily basis as we provide before and after school child care, and if they don’t see me for a couple of days or we are away, then they FaceTime me . I love my relationship with my grandson, we are very close.

The perfect solution, we too have a motor home and it’s useful for stopovers to see GC who live 75 miles away. It varies how much we see the GC, average once a month.
