Hi robnh. Welcome to Work it, Mom! We're so glad you're here. :) I'm a moderator for the site, so let me know if you have questions about anything. Just read your answer re. living overseas and I'm with you on that: a great experience for the parents and the kids. But you're right: in theory it seems like a no-brainer, but there is a down-side, like separating grandkids from grandparents. It's tricky.

Anyway, welcome, once again. Hope you have a great day!
Oh, PS, here's a group you might enjoy:
