No I hate it. One of my mom's sisters is a 4 hour drive away. Everyone else on both sides is a plane ride away.

my parents live a 10-minute drive away. it has been very nice to have them nearby. we seem them about once or twice a month, and it's a joy watching them with LO. hope to also take advantage of their babysitting offers more in the future!

We live 2 doors down from DH's parents. ...... His brothers live about 15 mins away. (Well one is a few hours away.)
Meanwhile, all my family is in on the east coast of the US, except my folks who are in a whole other country in the Caribbean. ::sigh::
I will admit, sometimes I feel a little resentful that DH's fam. is so close, and mine are not.

Yes, luckily my MIL is about 10 minutes away and my parents less than an hour. They both come by at least once a week and are real babysitting lifesavers for us.

My parents are 15 minutes, DH's are 30. My brother and SIL also live 15 minutes away, and my BIL is 2 hours. Not super close, but close enough for visits. My sister is the only OOT one.
