BIL lives 1.5 hours away and we visit them (or vice versa) when we can. He has an 8 year old son that enjoys hanging around DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-siblings-amp-their-los-live-nearby#post-2212046 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 10:30:57 +0000 HLK208 2212046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two of my sisters are a 3 and 6 hour plane ride away, my other sister and in-laws are 15-30 minutes away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-siblings-amp-their-los-live-nearby#post-2211733 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 23:09:22 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2211733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Mt farthest sibling is a 3 hour drive away. The rest are within 20 min. DH's siblings live within walking distance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-siblings-amp-their-los-live-nearby#post-2211731 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 23:03:54 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2211731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! Both my sisters live in other states. I am hoping by the time the married one is ready to start having kids she'll move back to California. That's her ideal plan, it's just so much more expensive here than in Louisiana! My youngest sister doesn't have kids yet either but she might move even farther away soon with her boyfriend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-siblings-amp-their-los-live-nearby#post-2211657 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 20:49:03 +0000 cat620 2211657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO doesn't have cousins yet. I'm an only child, but my DH has two younger brothers. One lives 2.5 hours away by car and one lives 5 hours away by plane. We see the one who lives 2.5 hours away the most. He comes home for all major holidays and family events. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-siblings-amp-their-los-live-nearby#post-2210387 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 16:24:15 +0000 msplatypus 2210387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother lives about 13 hours away (we are on opposite ends of California). He has 2 little boys that I barely know and I doubt we will ever live closer. Dhs brother lives about 7 hours away in Oregon. We are hoping to spend more time with them and their twins when dd is older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-siblings-amp-their-los-live-nearby#post-2210273 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 14:17:31 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2210273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, my brother lives in Japan.

I wonder if that might even out once we do have one?)</p> <p>Only one of DH's siblings has kids, and they're older now (like 17 and 21). We rarely see them even though they're local. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-siblings-amp-their-los-live-nearby#post-2210142 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 12:55:45 +0000 lamariniere 2210142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, they all live in different countries from us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-siblings-amp-their-los-live-nearby#post-2210093 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 12:33:49 +0000 ValentineMommy 2210093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My only sibling is childfree by choice.</p> <p>DH has 1 full sibling (no kids either) and 1 half sibling.

My brother has 3 girls but they live in MI and we are in NY. We try to seem them a few times a year though! Like, lo is 14 months and has met her cousins 3x already, and will spend a week with them this summer as well. </p> <p>Dh's sister lives in DC but doesn't have kids, but we see her even more often than my family </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-siblings-amp-their-los-live-nearby#post-2209809 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 09:32:16 +0000 gentlelunette 2209809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother lives down the street with their LO, and my sister lives about a 10 minute drive with her LO.

DD has loads of cousins but never sees them. To be honest though, I think she has the same relationships with friends and their kids who do live close to us, so she doesn't really miss out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-siblings-amp-their-los-live-nearby#post-2209718 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 08:57:57 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2209718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my sisters live about 25 min from me and one of them has LOs close to the same age as my LO. My brother lives halfway across the country, so we see him and his family about once a year. </p> <p>DH's siblings live in the country where he grew up and we only see them and their families when we go visit each year. They have never come to the US. </p>
