I think you might be putting far too much weight on Johnny’s extended family and too little on his wife. I’d be pretty surprised if the reason Johnny left was so that his parents could help his wife raise grandkids while his wife’s family stay in Calgary (presumably). I don’t think it’s a factor at all.

I think Johnny and his wife will make the best decision they feel fits their own family situation. The rest will take care of itself when it comes to grandparents etc.
While this is definitely true in most situations, $10MM / year can buy some pretty sweet Nanny/Housekeeping help.
