It's not too bad, but there are a lot of times I wish we had family closer (like last night when my husband's car broke down). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398666 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 15:04:39 +0000 JoJoGirl 2398666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No :( :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398660 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 15:03:20 +0000 Bee_McGee 2398660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, thank goodness. We all live in NYC (in laws too) except my dad is on Long Island. All my siblings (except for 2 step's) are here too. We are all such NY'ers, no one could imagine living anywhere else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398630 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 14:50:17 +0000 lamariniere 2398630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. My family is on a different continent and my husband's family is a few countries away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398535 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 14:17:39 +0000 lilteacherbee 2398535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20 minutes away from my parents and 45 minutes away from my in-laws (they are moving in a couple months though and will only be 20 minutes away as well). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398533 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 14:17:30 +0000 autumnlove 2398533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: both!?!?

Even though in laws live half the distance away, we see them about as often as I see my family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398515 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 14:13:24 +0000 sapphire 2398515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're in the middle. In laws 20 mins away and my parents 40 min away. Works pretty well and it's a big reason behind why we moved where we did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398503 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 14:09:04 +0000 fancyfunction 2398503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my parents are under an hr away and my MIL is 15 min. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398489 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 14:05:53 +0000 Dandelion 2398489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both sets of parents live within 20 minutes from us.

My parents live about 30 minutes north of us and MIL moved cross-country to be near us (DH is an only). She lives about 20-25 minutes south west of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398397 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 13:14:18 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2398397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The closer set of parents is "only" a 4 hour flight away...so no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398392 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 13:11:59 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2398392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20 minutes from my parents and 3-4 minutes from my sister (yay!). The rest of my siblings are 4-7 hours away.</p> <p>Within 2-3 blocks of all of DH's family (mom, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398382 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 13:05:02 +0000 yin 2398382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live less than a mile away from my parents (but don't see them often) and about 25 minutes away from my in-law's. We see my in-law's every other week, but lately it's been on a weekly basis. Also my sisters all live about 20 minutes away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398378 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 12:58:14 +0000 LindsayLou 2398378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, sadly. We are about two hours away from my parents. Both of my brothers are living across the country at the moment, but one is moving back to our state in January, and the other at least wants to be back on the west coast eventually. Most of my husband's family is about 40 minutes away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398375 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 12:56:03 +0000 Synchronicity 2398375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just over an hour from all of our family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398371 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 12:54:32 +0000 JennyG 2398371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, and it's making me pretty sad lately. My grandfather recently passed away and this is the first Christmas that I won't be home. My DHs family is close, but it's not the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398366 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 12:52:34 +0000 snowjewelz 2398366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! 15 min from my parents and 20-30 min from in-laws. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398364 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 12:49:41 +0000 coopsmama 2398364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>29 minutes from DH's parents and grandparents and 45 minutes from mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398363 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 12:49:26 +0000 Greentea 2398363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to live with LO forever. Yup.</p> <p>But no, my immediate extended family (siblings, parent) are strewn all across the world. Two complete opposite ends of the country, and abroad. My dad's family lives here, so we see them for holidays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398361 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 12:48:28 +0000 Meowkers 2398361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents and brother are about 20 minutes away. My in-laws and SIL are a little over an hour away by car. Luckily my BIL is about a 5 hour drive away so we don't have to see him too often. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398355 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 12:46:11 +0000 jhd 2398355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live 20 min from my parents and 2 hours from DH's family. It's perfect! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398354 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 12:46:10 +0000 MenagerieMama 2398354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope :( Across the country and it takes at least 2 flights. We have no one even remotely close. And no friends yet and we've been here over a year now! Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-near-your-family-1#post-2398352 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 12:44:17 +0000 autumnlove 2398352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents are about 7 hours away by car and my inlaws (FIL, MIL and BILS) live all within a mile. My brother just bought a house about 10 minutes away from my parents!</p> <p>I think my inlaws lucked out with all three grown sons living close by! I hope I have at least 1 of 3 LOs near me when I get older. :-) </p>
