[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved back to the Akron Ohio area for 2 reasons.

1.) We both worked in healthcare and our salaries weren't going to go down much (less than 5%) even though the cost of living went down about 30 percent
2.) My husband is one of 5 and [b]my kids are now growing up around 12 first cousins[/b].

I miss DC but not enough to move back. [/quote]

OP here- the oldest of 14 first cousins with all but 3 growing up in the same area. Most of us made it for the vacation and it was amazing to watch my cousins who are dudes in their early 20s want to play with my little one. I wasn't like that even at that age, but they are very into family. I credit their parents.

Thanks for the PPs advice about moving for siblings. I think about that too- it would be weird to have them move away then! But my sister is married to someone who is so firmly entrenched with the inlaws they aren't going anywhere. Also, there is a big personal reason that they wouldn't move, but I don't want to get off topic too much.[/quote]
