[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My in-laws are having to decide to move near us or near my SIL. They are pretty decided on being near us because they can’t afford the same standard of living within an hour of my SIL. It’s bringing up lots of feelings for everyone. I think it’s ok to prioritize seeing your parents more if you want. It will get easier as the kids get older. Also I completely agree 2 hours away is not close enough for aging parents- in a few years they may need to make another move. Try to remember there’s a lot to this that’s just practical [/quote]

Yeah - the ultimate vision is that they would live near my sister if needed.  There's a very nice assisted living / nursing home place in their town that I think they'd use if one of them needed it and the other was still independent and then the surviving one would move close to my sister when they could no longer be independent on their own or just no longer wanted to be in the mountain town on their own.  Very high odds it'd be my mom staying there until my dad passed and then moving to my sister.  She'd have no interest in taking care of their house on her own long run. [/quote]
