3. Our daughter with 2 girls is an excellent Mom

She was a great teacher.
Her husband adores the kids and their world is their kids.
They're constantly doing things with them.
No alcohol or drug problems.

But my wife has been over there weekly helping out
It is tiring work. My daughter looks exhausted some days.
I help with fix it stuff but they don't require a lot from me.

When my wife & I visit weekly, it is the highlight of my week. Lovely family with two little miracles.
We're truly blessed.

But my wife helping 2-3 days a week beyond our weekly visit finds it physically exhausting. And she looks it after 2-3 days.

Grandparents 24/7 as parents for 2-3 kids. That is pretty major.
