We're moving again in the fall, which will bring us quite a bit closer to home, but still quite far away -- (halfway across the country instead of all the way). calsmom on "If you're far from your family, did you move away or did your family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-of-a-spinoff-if-youre-far-from-your-family-did-you-move-away-or-did-your-family#post-100096 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 11:45:01 +0000 calsmom 100096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I moved away from my family.

I always joke that I stuck with them for 28 years and they finally had to move themselves to get away from me. Haha. I'm not too crazy attached to them, I'm just really obedient... they never wanted me to move from them so I didn't. I think they expected me to follow them when they finally moved, but I was already married by then. Wagon Sr. moved away from his family.. to be with me... if we never got together he'd STILL be living in his mom's basement, I guarantee it!

But even before that, we lived pretty far away from our parents....DH and I lived in Chicago, while all our parents lived in different states on the west coast. sulli301 on "If you're far from your family, did you move away or did your family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-of-a-spinoff-if-youre-far-from-your-family-did-you-move-away-or-did-your-family#post-99893 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 09:05:45 +0000 sulli301 99893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My husband & I live about 3 hours from my parents & I moved away first for college (about 1 hour) & then after we were engaged & working we moved where we live now. tequiero21 on "If you're far from your family, did you move away or did your family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-of-a-spinoff-if-youre-far-from-your-family-did-you-move-away-or-did-your-family#post-99874 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 08:45:43 +0000 tequiero21 99874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ we're a lot closer to family now but for years, we were away because of hubby's job. i think if i moved to texas, i would have gotten my parents to come down eventually since cost of living is so much cheaper. but alas, we'll be in jersey so it's just as expensive as ny. dc yoga bee on "If you're far from your family, did you move away or did your family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-of-a-spinoff-if-youre-far-from-your-family-did-you-move-away-or-did-your-family#post-99869 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 08:35:59 +0000 dc yoga bee 99869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH and his family all live in the same city. My parents moved away because they hate the south. So, we're moving up north because I've always planned to move up north to be close to my parents and just like it more. Doubt DH family would make that trek when they retire in a few yrs b/c they don't like change. Instead they're trying to convince me not to want to move.

I moved away and I don't think I'd move back, even to be close to them. Just not enough job opportunities there.

I actually moved back to MD for a year or so and that is when they decided to move south! I later found a job in a town just 2 1/2 hrs from where they were, so that worked out well. His parents moved away when he was in college, I think? heffalump on "If you're far from your family, did you move away or did your family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-of-a-spinoff-if-youre-far-from-your-family-did-you-move-away-or-did-your-family#post-99152 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 12:42:48 +0000 heffalump 99152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My parents moved away from their parents when my brother was born. My mom's parents ended up following them down here to be close to the grandkids. My dad's parents stayed put and then ended up moving to FL, but not the same part so they were still a 4 hour drive. We wanted to stay here because both of our parents live here. But so far LO is the only grandchild on my side so I wouldn't be surprised if my parents followed us wherever we decided to go.
