Hi, hope you're adjusting back to life in Moscow. :) Manassas is close to Arlington, only about a half hour drive on the weekends. But during the week it took me over two hours each way to get to DC for work. I simply couldn't waste four hours of my life every day sitting in traffic. The DC Metro area now has the worst traffic in the nation. It's a real nightmare getting to the city from Maryland and Virginia suburbs.
The situation you described in Russia with grandparents, well unfortunately it's the same here. Lots of divorced and blended families where the grandparents play a key role in stability. My parents were high school sweethearts and still very sweet toward one another. They've been together 43 years. Amazing really.
