Or we move 3,000 miles away to somewhere more economically prosperous (and also, more expensive) so the grandparent's couldn't financially make it viable to come with. All of my parents grew up and lived in the same state as their siblings. All of my siblings live in different states, and none of us live in the same state as our parents. My siblings and I don't have any kids yet, but their family life and amount of time they spend with extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins) will look dramatically different than my experience, and it's only been ~25 or so years.

Probably only can reasonably work, though, if the kids wait until they have a home and decent sizes lawn to have kids of their own.

  This also only works if your grandparents are in good enough shape to live in a trailer, and, also, you have a lawn, which many people living in multi-family housing do not have exclusive access to.
