Hellobee Boards

We do now, for the first time in our married lives, and I LOVE it! We moved back to England last year, and DH's parents moved back here from Australia about six months ago. They live ten minutes up the road from us and it is fantastic.

My mom is also retired and flies over from the States for 6 week visits every few months. We absolutely love it!

They all live 3 hours away.

Oh. Except my dads moving about 20 minutes away from me next week. I forgot! Lol.

My in-laws do, but my family members are in other states.

Nope. 7 (or 10? Ha) hour drive along 95 for both sets of parents. Extended family more like 11 hours or cross country. At least my in laws live in the states now; they used to be in Australia. Now that LO is getting older we are feeling that distance. When we were DINKs, we were all " wahooo no boring family obligations due to the distance". Now we are all "gah why can't our parents live closer life would be so much easier"

Nope, we're in AZ & the IL's are in MN & my family is in SC.

Yes....my mother lives 2 hours away (but hates driving so usually of we see her it's at her house), my sister is 1 hour away, my in-laws are 1 hour away with no traffic, and I have a sister/brother in law who are 10 min away...

It bums me out though because the people 10 min away are not good babysitters. Not that that's what I would only use them for, we hang out all the time but they are childless and set in their ways and they are not good/reliable babysitters (their words, not mine).

My in-laws are in town, but my family is ten hours away. I so wish it were the other way around.

45 minute drive for the in laws. 30 seconds for my mom.
