I somehow think having kids will make me feel better away sometimes. I know that's wrong. I know I'll struggle with these same things when we have kids. And there's just no way around it.

We basically have no access to grandparents through a variety of circumstances and we know it's a void in dudelet's life. Treasure the fact that you not only get on with them but that they actually want to be involved... I think you’re so lucky!

Having a child makes me miss my family so much more, although I never thought that would be possible. They only live 300 miles away, but we have not yet been down to see them (although we have a trip planned). Sometimes though I wish my MIL would think about it a bit though - when my Dad came to meet his grandson for the first time he remarked to her that it must be so nice having us just around the corner, to which she replied that she didn't see Piran that often. Which, when she sees him at least twice every week and is watching him grow and change and my parents have only met him once so far was bloody tactless to say the least and upset me for days. I wouldn't say anything to her though, she is a bit scary at times! My MIL lives around the corner and since I started my maternity leave we have been developing a proper relationship.

She's a fabulous grandma to my two daughters and is a life-saver for me when it comes to last minute childcare and looking after them when they're sick so I can still go to work. It has become a more poignant relationship too, since the death of my own wonderful Mum two and a half years ago.

Probably because they live down the road but also because I'm very close with my family. If you have someone to help you with the kids and have a coffee and chat then hold onto that. Just having a bit of support from anyone is a godsend as a mother. x I get on with my in laws but we’re nowhere near as close to them as we are to my parents and family.
