This is what I love about you. You can do snark and you can do beauty, and you can do them both better than most. Lovely stuff, Britt. maggie, dammit's last blog post..When did David Beckham start writing books?

We visited my sister in America last year and my son bonded with his cousins and aunt so much that he didn’t want to go back to Australia. All the way on the flight home he wept – those horrible, gut-wrenching sobs children can do that break your heart. I felt so bad that we couldn’t all live close by. Don’t blame yourself – sometimes life takes us down unexpected roads. My son emails his cousins just about every day and that helps. It is hard for a little one like Emma to come to terms with it. But she has you. How fortunate she is!

I’m so glad your daughter has that special relationship with her grandma – that’s awesome. Grandma’s were invented to make children feel special (cause even though our mommy’s tell us we are – Grandma’s have this way of showing it – at least my great-grandma did).

It’s always hard when the grandparents leave. As parents, we’re the disciplinarians. As grandparents, they are the friends, the playmates.

I know she’ll be OK and the next visit with Grandma will be even more special than this one.

I only have on grandparent left, and my Gram and I talk about once a week. She and her husband were my favorites, because of how much they loved us, but we were always so far away from family that it wasn't until I was an adult that I realized it.

My Nana Creta will be turning 90 this year. She freaking rocks. She only lives 40 mins away, but I don't see her nearly often enough. I'm a bad grandson. I should call her. Jay's last blog post..Tuesday is Now Tinkday!

I can feel your pain Britt. My parents are not as far away, but it always feel like I am ripping my children's little hearts out when I take them home from a visit there. Your kids still love you. How could they not? Hope you all have a good week. Cissa Fireheart's last blog post..Man! I feel like a woman...

hello haha narf: heh, that’s ironic since I’m feeling all guilty about them doing to day care tomorrow and me working.

turnbaby: it’s going pretty good so far – she asked me an hour ago “You stay here with me?” I’m glad I was here for that.

NYCWD: oh, I know. I was lucky to have to amazing grandmas myself.

Peggy: thanks – I’m sure we will!

MsMVNJ: well thank you – and welcome!

Jen: that’s still far enough that I’m sure visits are a big deal.

debkitty: yeah, they really are. I’m glad for them for that.

Mr. Fabulous: OK, I’ll leave the bed down. (FUCK!)

Britt’s Mom: no. No. Of course not. Totally welcome here.

(FUCK!)

Jer: yeah, even if it’s not as regularly anymore – at least they are still “there”.

Melanie Marie: lol, sorry about that. Um… crap. I can’t think of anything funny quick.

Little Miss Sunshine State: beyond my years? Oh, I don’t know. I think that grandma thing starts pretty young.

Kimberly: you are sooo right about that. Hell, when we lived right next door (practically) there were still plenty of highs and lows and guilt opportunities. Just different ones.

Finn: yeah, my head knows logic. The lump? Not so much.

But I DO still get to choose what I focus on.

Robina: my FIL was just saying his grandma was mean – that’s just crazy to me! I can’t even imagine.

Angie: he he – any time.

Marissa: :heartbeat: back atcha!

Nat: that’s what I keep telling myself anyway.

Linda~: you would be surprised the things you “can live without”, no matter how impossible it seems right now.

themuttprincess: oh yeah, that no rules thing is awesome. When you’re the kid.

craze: yeah, I am kind of looking forward to watching crap on TV tonight.

Poppy: :lmao: I totally missed that. That’s great!

Amy: I know, I know – brownies for lunch today!
