There is a Welsh saying: “Perfect love does not come along until the first grandchild.”

I find one of the great things about flexible work is taking extended visits to my grandchildren (and my children, too, of course). It gives that exciting, quality time that is only possible by being with the next generations.

Family dynamics and the ability to spend time together vary from family to family, and even from visit to visit. With Thanksgiving and then the Christmas and Hanukkah holidays upcoming, here are a few articles about family visits:
