My brother's daughter lived quite far away from him for some time. My SIL lamented to me frequently how she wished her daughter were closer. My answer? Be careful what you wish for. Well, daughter moved back to be closer to her mom and dad. My SIL was so excited and said she couldn't wait to see more of the grand-kids...well they certainly see a lot of them now, almost on a daily basis. They babysit more often than not! Last I heard, they were getting more than a little fed up.
